StripAid™ X is formulated to work at both ambient and elevated temperatures, making it versatile for various applications, including ultrasonic agitation. It is particularly effective in debonding diced and whole wafers, such as after the wafer thinning process.
The process is simple: wafers are soaked in StripAid™ at 110 °C for 5 to 20 minutes, followed by sequential rinses with acetone, IPA, and DI water. The solvent’s low vapor pressure and negligible solubility in water make it easy to handle without requiring special safety precautions.
Unlike conventional solvents, StripAid™ X aligns with sustainable manufacturing goals, offering a biodegradable solution without compromising efficiency. Its nonhazardous formulation simplifies storage requirements—only protection from direct sunlight is needed, with an optimal temperature range of 20 °C to 25 °C.
CE3S is proud to offer innovative and environmentally responsible solutions for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. With the Millice StripAid™ X Series, wafer debonding is now safer, cleaner, and more efficient than ever before.
