NanoFab Tool: ReynoldsTech Resist Strip Fume Hood

ReynoldsTech Resist Strip Fume Hood
Credit: NIST

The ReynoldsTech solvent-based chemical hood is used for the removal of photoresist from wafers and photomask substrates. The two chemical baths utilize NMP based chemical 1165 heated at 80 °C to remove resist and clean substrates. The two chemical baths are to be used in sequential order. The first bath of 1165 is a “dirtier” bath and is used to remove the bulk of the photoresist. The second bath is a “cleaner” filtered bath which will clean and remove any stubborn resist left on the substrates. Lastly, the fume hood is equipped with a cascade dump rinse which will thoroughly rinse the substrates.
