KMSF® 2000 Low Dk/Df Photo-dielectric

Part of the Kayaku Advanced Materials Line
Photoresists & Specialty Chemicals

KMSF® 2000 is a negative-tone, low-temperature cure, PPE-copolymer-based photo-dielectric for high reliability heterogeneous design in advanced packaging. It provides a unique advantage offering through its improved pattern resolution, low temperature cure, and robust balance of mechanical and electrical properties. It is designed for an optimal cured film thickness of 5 to 10 μm.


Material Attributes:

  • Negative tone, photoimageable dielectric
  • 5 to 10 µm film thickness after cure
  • Solvent-developable in PGMEA
  • I-Line/broadband sensitivity, 1:1 aspect ratio imaging
  • Low temperature cure ≤ 200°C
  • Low Dk/Df electrical properties
  • Low moisture uptake
  • Good thermal and chemical stability

Material Uses:

  • RDL dielectric
  • Passivation and protective layer
  • Wafer level packaging
