What is Alkali Developable Photoresist?
An alkali developable photoresist is a light-sensitive resin composition that can be developed using an alkaline solution after exposure to light. Unlike solvent-developed resists, these materials are more environmentally friendly and safer for operators. They typically contain carboxyl group-containing resins, photopolymerization initiators, compounds with ethylenically unsaturated groups, and specific fillers. The U-Sunny T-7111N alkali developable photoresist is designed to meet stringent industry requirements while minimizing harmful environmental and health impacts.
