Abstract: The process capability of a commercially available positive diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) photoresist, SJR 3000 series from Shipley, was evaluated. This photoresist at a film thickness of 7 - 8 microns was found to have a large process latitude and focus budget while maintaining nearly vertical wall profiles. The high contrast found with this thick film photoresist was due to a low loading of a monofunctional DNQ sensitizer which also has a high dissolution inhibition. The photoresist formulation was compatible with both AZ 400K and Microposit (MP) 2401 developers when using either a stepper or scanner exposure system. SJR photoresist was shown to provide an effective photoresist frame for electroplating metals such as copper and permalloy. !9
