Base Resistance

Improved steam and base resistance. Special grades requited. 

Many functional groups are stable to alkaline hydrogen peroxide. Acetate esters are usually hydrolyzed under the reaction conditions although methods have been developed to prevent hydrolysis.For the preparation of the 4,5-oxiranes of desoxycorticosterone, hydrocortisone, and cortisone, the alkali-sensitive ketol side chains must be protected with a base-resistant group, e.g., the tetrahydropyranyl ether or the ethylene ketal derivative. Sodium carbonate has been used successfully as a base with unprotected ketol side chains, but it should be noted that some ketols are sensitive to sodium carbonate in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. The spiroketal side chain of the sapogenins is stable to the basic reaction conditions. 

Improvement in the solvent and oil resistance of rubbers can be achieved via grafting of acrylonitrile onto rubber [140-142] and rubber blends [143]. The careful control of the degree of grafting allows vulcanized rubber with high-mechanical properties compared with ungrafted vulcanized rubber to be obtained. Also, acid resistance [144] and resistance to microbiological attack [145,146] was improved for cellulose grafted with acrylonitrile, and increases in base resistance were also noted for MMA and a mixture of MMA and ethyl acrylate [13],...

Polydithiazoles Polyoxadiazoles Polyamidines Pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile Polyvinyl isocyanate ladder polymer Polyamide-imide Polysulfone Decompose at 525°C (977°F) soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. Decompose at 450-500°C (842-932°F) can be made into fiber or film. Stable to oxidation up to 500°C (932°F) can make flexible elastomer. Stable above 900°C (1625°F) fiber resists abrasion with low tenacity. Soluble polymer that decomposes at 385°C (725°F) prepolymer melts above 405° C (76l.°F). Service temperatures up to 288° C (550°F) amenable to fabrication. Thermoplastic use temperature —102°C (—152°F) to greater than 150° C (302°F) acid and base resistant.

A nnmber of other examples are known in which genetically based resistance was dne to enhanced detoxication of OPs. These include malathion resistance in some stored product pests owing to high carboxylesterase activity, and resistance of strains of the housefly to diazinon due to detoxication by specific forms of a glutathione-S-transferase and monooxygenase (Brooks 1972).

Figure 3 shows the sensitivity curves for SPP (solid lines) compared with that of a novolac-based resist (dashed line). From these curves, we obtained the maximum clearing dose (Dq), the dose for 50% thickness remaining (D50), and lithographic contrast (7-value). These resist characteristics are summarized in Table I. 

A higher sensitivity of SPP can be obtained using a more dilute TMAH solution, but at the expense of lower contrast. A solution more dilute than 0.6 wt% cannot completely dissolve the resist. The SPP exhibited a higher sensitivity and contrast than the novolac-based resist.

Materials DNQ was synthesized by esterification of o-cresol formaldehyde novolac resin (Mw=900) and of l,2-diazonaphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride. The esterification rate was ca. 0.4. The novolac-based resist used in EB lithography to compare with SPP was... 

Custom (continuing to do things as they have previously been done) also limits the power of trials to identify safety issues. While there are now regulatory inducements to include more women, the young, and ethnic minorities in trials, the first two groups still are not proportionately incorporated because of both the perceived risks of adverse events that they represent and because historically they have not been. Ethnic minorities, particularly African Americans, present a different problem in that there is a historically based resistance to participation in such trials.

Various ceramic membranes, for example, possess differing degrees of acid/base resistance, depending on the pH value, particular phase of the membrane material, porosity, contact time and temperature. However, no quantitative data are available on the kinetics of chemical dissolution of ceramic membranes as a guide for chemical corrosion considerations. 

An example of the wavelength matching technique is apparent in the work of Taylor et. al. (58,59). Taylor and coworkers at Bell Laboratories have demonstrated very high sensitivity in 2,3-dichloropropyl acrylate-based resist systems for exposure to the palladium emission line. The sensitivity of these materials is in part the result of the high absorption cross section of chlorine for the palladium radiation. With the exception of apparent sensitivity perterbations that can be explained on the basis of unique absorption characteristics, there seem not to be new principles involved in the design of resist materials for ion beam or x-ray exposure.

However, the pinhole density in the imaging layer has to be reduced. This can be done by searching among all the commercial novolak - based resists for an acceptable candidate or by setting an MLR specification for resist vendors improve their quality control. Because thin resists have been used for mask making with an acceptable defect level, no fundamental pinhole problem is anticipated.
