    Broad portfolio of CMP pads to meet the needs of any application.
    A range of offerings for chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) including Novaplane™, Optiplane™, Acuplane™ and Klebosol® slurries.
  • Lithography Materials and Services

    Learn how DuPont develops and delivers market-leading lithography materials to support semiconductor advanced patterning.

    DuPont’s robust, production-proven photoresist product line offers materials options that meet the requirements across generations of lithography processes.

    Anti-reflective coatings and sublayers boost the effectiveness of lithography by widening and improving the process and reflectivity windows.

    Used in conjunction with photoresists, DuPont’s advanced overcoat materials are designed to prevent defects and improve the lithography process window, enabling finer feature patterns.

    DuPont’s roots run deep in its production-proven line of ancillary lithography products. From developers, removers, and other enhancement chemistries, we support a total lithography solution.

    DUV and 193nm photoresist performance begins with the polymer, and DuPont electronic grade polymers continue to improve upon existing techniques for polymer manufacture, isolation, and evaluation.

    We offer services such as defect testing or patterning wafers.
  • Specialized Removers and Clean Chemistries

    Specialty removal and clean chemistries for use in post-chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and post-etch processes.

    Learn about our post-CMP copper interconnect cleaner required in the manufacturing of advanced semiconductor devices.

    Aqueous & semi-aqueous organic mixtures formulated to effectively remove residues from substrate surfaces after via, poly and metal etch processes.

    Removers to remove photoresist used during the lithography process.

    Enable removal of positive- and negative-tone photoresists as well as plasma-hardened residues, and which are compatible with a wide variety of metals required to form LED contacts.

    Formulations optimized to effectively remove thick and thin resists used for TSV masks and wafer bumping by solder electroplating or stencil printing.

    EKC4000 PCT is a cost-effective replacement that outperforms conventional "rinse" chemistries such as IPA and NMP. It quickly and effectively eliminates corrosion on the wafer surface caused by drag-out (carry over) of chemistry from prior wet cleaning. EKC4000 PCT is compatible with automatic equipment and is formulated to meet ULSI grade specifications for advanced wafer treatment.
  • Dual Damascene Copper

    Since 2006, leading-edge semiconductor manufacturers have relied upon DuPont Electronics & Industrial's dual damascene products for achieving semiconductor technology nodes below 20nm. What's our secret?

  • Semiconductor Packaging Materials

    With more than 50 years invested in technology development, DuPont Electronics & Industrial understands the needs in the market and has developed a broad portfolio of semiconductor packaging materials for a range of technology areas.

    DuPont offers positive- and negative-tone photoresists designed to meet the tight pitches and varied topographies of today’s semiconductor advanced packaging applications.

    Our production-proven Copper pillar formulations work in perfect harmony with our under-bump metallization (UBM) and tin-silver capping chemistries, to provide a seamless solution for all your Copper pillar needs.

    DuPont Electronics & Industrial copper chemistries for redistribution layers (RDLs) are ideally suited to today’s high-density requirements for wafer level packaging applications.

    Look to DuPont for packaging dielectric formulations that have the mechanical properties, high resolution, low-temp curing, easy processes, and superior reliability needed to protect your advanced WLP.

    DuPont’s award-winning Solderon™ BP electroplating chemistries are a reliable alternative to tin-lead alloys for all wafer bumping applications.

    Years of experience and success in electroplating damascene copper have helped DuPont bring leading-edge copper TSV chemistries to the advanced packaging market.

    We offer a production-proven electroplating nickel chemistry tailored to meet a variety of UBM process needs.
  • Semiconductor Assembly Materials

    By working in collaboration with leading-edge packaging and assembly houses, DuPont Electronics & Industrial sets the bar for excellence. Our materials are developed based on the latest requirements and are proven in high-volume manufacturing.

    Ordinary die-attach adhesives suit ordinary chip applications. But when a chip design must deliver reliable performance in extreme temperatures, high moisture, or stressful environments look to DuPont Electronics & Industrial for extraordinary solutions.

    Our silicone die encapsulants maintain reliable performance even at the high reflow temperatures required for lead-free solder processing or stringent thermal stress-reliability testing conditions.

    DuPont’s portfolio of silicone-based lid-seal adhesives are designed to handle the high functionality of today’s advanced packaging processes, delivering the performance needed for today’s high-performance computing, mobile and automotive electronic applications.

    Photo-patternable dielectrics and non-photo-patternable adhesives make possible chip-to-wafer and wafer-to-wafer stacking for heterogeneous integration.

    Our thermally conductive silicones are designed to handle the heat dissipation of today’s advanced electronic devices.
  • Silicone-based Deposition and Spin-on Dielectric (glass) Materials

    These materials are essential to a number of semiconductor process steps. They include chemical vapor deposition (CVD)/atomic layer deposition (ALD) gas/precursor, and spin-on dielectrics (SOD).

    Silicon precursors are high-purity gas or liquid materials used in key steps during the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
