Description
KL7000 PFAS-Free, Fluorine-Free i/g-Line Positive Photoresist delivers high sensitivity and sub-micron resolution for broadband, i-line, h-line, and g-line lithography while eliminating PFAS and other fluorine-containing materials. With single-coat coverage from 0.15 to 3.0 µm, KL7000 provides a wide process window and consistent film uniformity. It is compatible with metal-ion-free (MIF) and metal-ion-bearing (MIB) developers and is optimized for 0.26 N TMAH, enabling straightforward integration into established wet-process modules. Typical processes achieve 0.55 µm dense line/space and 0.40 µm isolated features, making KL7000 a strong, environmentally preferred drop-in alternative to S1800™, AZ®1500, and other general-use positive resists without compromising throughput or yield.
