ma-N 2410 process recipe

ma-N 2410 is the thickest grade of micro resist technology's ma-N 2400 negative series, coating 1.0 µm at 3000 rpm for 30 s, and is exposed by electron beam or deep UV rather than by a UV lamp or a 405 nm writer.

01 / Coating

Spin coating

The manufacturer does not publish a spin curve for ma-N 2410.

  • One tabulated point, not a sweep: 1.0 µm at 3000 rpm for 30 s.
  • The sheet does plot film thickness against spin speed from 1000 to 6000 rpm with a trace for each of the four grades, so the shape is shown, but that chart carries no numeric table — only axis ticks on a 0-2.0 µm scale and the legend strings — so no values are published from it.
  • Accel, dispense volume and edge-bead removal are not published here.

03 / Exposure

Exposure dose

Doses are published for electron-beam exposure, from 20-45 µC/cm² at 10 keV up to 240-550 µC/cm² at 100 keV, and for deep UV at 248, 254 or 266 nm at 2-20 mJ/cm². No dose is published for g-line (436 nm), h-line (405 nm) or i-line (365 nm). Run a dose array on your own tool to land the working dose.

Not published for this resist: Dose at 365 nm, Dose at 405 nm — characterize on-tool.

05 / Post-processing

Hard bake, etch & strip

Etch resistance
"High wet and dry etch resistance" (Unique features, p.1); the sheet lists masking for Si, SiO2, Si3N4 and metals among its applications.

Not published for this resist: Hard bake, Descum, Stripper, Storage — characterize on-tool.

Where it's used

Practical notes from the datasheet

ma-N 2410 is the 1 µm grade of a negative series built for electron-beam and deep-UV lithography, and that is the thing to check before specifying it: the published doses are in µC/cm² by beam energy, plus a deep-UV band at 248, 254 or 266 nm — there is no figure for g-line, h-line (the 405 nm line a direct-write tool uses) or i-line, and the absorption data on the sheet shows the resist going transparent above roughly 350 nm. On a UV direct-write tool it will not pattern. Where a beam is available the series resolves down to 30 nm, develops in aqueous alkali, and is offered as an etch mask against Si, SiO2, Si3N4 and metals, as an ion-implantation mask, and for cutting nanoimprint stamps. Dose climbs steeply with beam energy, from 20-45 µC/cm² at 10 keV to 240-550 µC/cm² at 100 keV, and those bands are wide enough that a dose array is the only sensible way to land on a working value. Softbake, development time and removal are not covered in this sheet.
