AP&S PRODUCTS
Patented Lift-Off Process
This single wafer wet process system offers a patented lift-off process for unique process performance. Within a few seconds, the metal layer is completely lifted off without affecting the substrate or structures.
Main Benefits
- Unique process performance without affecting substrate and structures
- Use of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a non-critical EH&S substance (EU & US)
- Complete lifting of the metal layer within < 30 seconds
- Cost-efficient process: recovery of process chemicals and precious metals
- Optimized process time with positive impact on overall throughput
- A plant demonstration in the AP&S DemoCenter is available.
Processes
- The AP&S metal lift-off solution is available for all types of metal layers, alloys and other protective coatings used in the semiconductor industry, such as Au, Ag, AlCu, etc.
- Metal lift-off, PR-stripping
