Digital visualization of semiconductor circuitry representing applications of custom fluoropolymers for pellicles, DUV photoresist coatings, and anti-reflective layers in chip manufacturing.

Specialty Fluoropolymers for Semiconductor Pellicles, Anti-reflective Coatings, and DUV Lithography Applications

In advanced semiconductor manufacturing, every material decision impacts yield, throughput, and device performance. CyclAFlor® amorphous fluoropolymers are engineered to give you a competitive edge with a unique blend of properties that meet the extreme demands of chipmaking.

Why CyclAFlor for Semiconductors?

  • Protective Pellicles & Coatings: Transparent across DUV to NIR, CyclAFlor materials shield critical photomasks and devices from particles, chemicals, and radiation without sacrificing throughput.

  • Advanced Waveguides & Optical Interposers: With ultra-low refractive index and optical clarity, CyclAFlor enables high-performance polymer waveguides and interposers for semiconductor–photonics integration, supporting faster, more efficient data transmission.

  • Stable in Harsh Environments: Exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability keep devices performing reliably during aggressive fabrication processes.

  • Low Dielectric Loss: Ideal for high-frequency and high-speed semiconductor applications where signal integrity is critical.

  • Process Friendly: Dissolves in perfluorinated solvents and applies easily as thin, defect-free coatings using standard spin, dip, or spray methods.

Proven Alternatives to Legacy Amorphous Fluoropolymers

CyclAFlor Clear is chemically equivalent to CYTOP®. CyclAFlor Shield has properties and delivers performance similar to Teflon™ AF but with a different chemical composition. Unlike either of these legacy materials,  Clear and Shield can be optimized for your application.
