Hi Tracy --

We got two copies of the 5869 and none of the 4761 in your original 
request in addition to the nifty powerpoint presentation.  Could you 
please send again?

Thanks,

mary

Sorry the email got sent before I was finished.

As for the developer, I'll make sure to get a copy of it and email it 
out as well.

Thanks,

Hi Tracy --

A few questions and comments.

1.  It looks like there are two copies of the ProTEK PSB MSDS.  Could 
you please send the MSDS for the primer?  Is it the same as the Protek B 
primer?  If so, that has been approved and there may be some extra 
floating around.

2.  Please use headway2 as I think this is a polyimide-based material 
and polyimides are not typically soluble in acetone -- this would be a 
problem at the laurell.  There are certain precautions to spinning 
polyimides at the headway2 -- please contact James Conway to review them.

3.  I suspect you will also need developer for this material.  Please 
provide an MSDS for the developer.

4.  This is fine to use on the contact aligners, but not the ASML (not 
that you've requested this -- just a reminder.)

5.  If you're willing to share your non-confidential results, we'll 
gladly support your request with a letter or whatever it takes to obtain 
sample-sized quantities for evaluation.

6.  A post-doc researcher has just asked about this very same material.  
He will be getting in touch with you about coordinating evaluation 
efforts.  His coral ID is hdonglee.

Intended use at headway2 or laurel, as well as UV exposure using 
KarlSuss.  Also wbgeneral for use as a mask during KOH and TMAH etching.

We have been unable to verify the claim that the ProTEK PSB is resistant 
to strong alkaline etchant such as KOH and TMAH.  And they have been 
unwilling to supply small quantities (grams) for this purposes.  The 
minimum $1200 purchase is for 250mL of Primer and 250mL of PSB.  I would 
like to ask if I can CC an SNF representative in emails requesting 
sample gram sized quantities for evaluation purposes.  Brewster sciences 
appears to be interested in the use of their ProTEK PSB at the SNF and 
perhaps if had more pressure would supply smaller/cheaper evaluation 
samples.

With a confirmation of KOH and TMAH resistance Silexos does plan to 
purchase larger quantities.
