[James Kim]

Hello, I submit this request for specmat committee's approval.  Please let
me know if anything else is needed.  Thank you.

Material: Accuglass T-12B (512B) Spin-On-Glass  (MSDS attached)

Manufacturer: Honeywell Electronic Materials  3500 Garret Drive, Santa
Clara, CA  95054

 

Reason for Request: I am developing a procedure to utilize the substance as
a planarizing agent on compound-semiconductor devices we are building.  I
will use it to coat a wafer (2 inch) under various conditions.  Later on, I
will also develop a procedure to etch down on the glass material in
controlled manner to reveal certain features on the wafer.

 

Process flow:  Initially, I will simply use the headway spin coater to coat
various wafers under various conditions, cure, and then examine the wafers
using SEM.  Later on, controlled etching to etch a specific amount of
material to reveal parts of the semiconductor on the wafer  will be
developed, requiring the use of wet bench (contaminated) for wet etching.
The etched structures will be examined using SEM.  Subsequently, metal
deposition (Al) is planned on the spin-coated, cured, etched wafer sample.

 

Amount: I would like to bring 2 bottles, each with 125mL.

 

Storage: They need to be refrigerated at 0-4C.  The bottles are clearly
labeled with original manufacturer's lables.

 

Disposal of excess: The bulk of the material is solvent: ethanol, isopropyl
alcohol and smaller amount of acetone. Non-solvent material is


Methyl siloxane polymer.  Excess (during spin coating for example) will be
treated as flammable and disposed of in the same way photoresist is disposed
of.  All of the material will be used in the next 6 months.
