Wet Etching Resist

Negative Resists Resistant to Both Acidic and Alkaline Etchants

We offer rubber resists that are resistant to both acidic and alkaline etchants, as well as g-line, i-line, KrF positive and negative photoresists that enable fine pattern formation by wet etching with acidic etchants.

Rubber-Based Negative Resist

Rubber-Based Negative Resist

This is a rubber-based negative resist that is resistant to acidic and alkaline etchants. The use of a rubber-based resin as the main raw material provides excellent adhesion and chemical resistance, making it suitable for long-time wet etching processes and reducing the amount of side etching compared to Novolak-based positive resists.

G-Line Positive Resist

G-Line Positive Resist OFPR™-800

A positive photoresist based on g-line Novolak resin with improved adhesion to substrates. It is suitable for wet etching with acid-based etchants. Compared to rubber-based negative resists, it has superior resolution, enabling wet etching of fine patterns.

KrF Positive Resist TDUR-P802

The resist is designed for fine processing in high-resolution KrF wet etching processes with high resistance to etching agents and adhesion to the substrate. The resist is designed for use in wet etching after KrF lithography for sub-micron pattern sizes that cannot be achieved with i-line resists.
