In semiconductor manufacturing, the adhesion of photoresist materials to substrates is a critical factor that can significantly impact the quality and yield of the final product. Understanding and optimizing this adhesion can lead to better performance and fewer defects in microelectronic devices. This blog post explores how contact angle measurements can be used to optimize photoresist adhesion.
The Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of the global business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce revolution, driven by rapid digital transformation and the increasing adoption of digital procurement solutions. The region’s eCommerce market is projected to grow at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.74% from 2023 to 2032, reaching USD 121 trillion in revenue.
Contact angle measurements on silicon and other wafers in the semiconductor industry are used to evaluate the cleanliness, surface treatment homogeneity, and photoresist adhesion. Wafers range typically from 4” up to 12” in diameter. Ideally, the contact angle measurement on a wafer can be done by automatic mapping of the whole wafer without user interference….
In semiconductor manufacturing, maintaining the purity and integrity of silicon wafers is crucial. This is where the RCA cleaning process comes into play. RCA cleaning was developed by the Radio Corporation of America which is where the acronym comes from. RCA Clean is a standard protocol used to remove organic and inorganic contaminants from silicon…

Did you know that food coloring’s thermal properties, such as its crystallization and melting, affect features like solubility and taste? Understanding these properties helps optimize production processes and quality control in the food industry. Abstract Food coloring material makes the food more attractive for the user. Food coloring materials are used in many areas: processed…
Estimating polymer lifetime is critical for applications where long-term reliability matters, such as insulation materials in nuclear reactors and power systems. Traditional methods can take months, but Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) offers a faster alternative. ABSTRACT In many polymer applications the ability to predict product lifetime is valuable because the costs of premature failure in actual…
3-D printing and additive manufacturing are growing segments due to the extreme versatility of the printable materials. The application of such technologies are numerous (rapid prototyping, complex shapes, …) and require different materials with different properties. The thermal analysis can be a valuable tool to evaluate the way a material keeps his internal structure during the extrusion and also the impact of the 3D printing process in the final material properties.
A group of researchers developed a spray coating method that maintained transparency while possessing superhydrophobic properties. The team quantified the surface roughness using AFM, which complemented optical microscopy, TEM and SEM. Author Johan F.S. Christensen, N.M. Anoop Krishnan, Mathieu Bauchy, Morten M. Smedskjaer Abstract In this study, the effects of both indenter sharpness and stiffness on the indentation response of oxide glasses…
