Packaging

In the realm of back-end-of-the-line processing, Futurrex has several product categories that enhance the capabilities of packaging fabs.
The following are applied to bumping, flip-chip packaging, 3D stacking and through-silicon via (TSV) solutions:

  • NR26-P series negative resists for bumping and extreme thickness applications of greater than 100μm where superb resolution and easy removal are required.
  • NR5-series negative resists for thick film masking applications in deep reactive ion etching (RIE) and through-silicon via (TSV) applications
  • PR1-series positive-tone resists for bumping, general patterning and etch applications
  • RD6 series resist developer for quick resist development, universally compatible with the development of positive or negative resists.
  • RR41/RR5 series chemicals for efficient and unique characteristics and performance during resist removal, including the safe removal of various temporary coatings, while being 100% compatible with Si, III/V substrates, II/VI substrates, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and all conventional metals including Cu, Ti, TiW, Au, Pt, Al, Ni, Ag-alloys, etc.
  • EBR2 series solutions for efficient and quick edge bead removing applications
