Exposure development

A straightforward scheme to remove the resist on the alignment marks is to go through an alignment-exposure-development procedure using... 

Methods for Determining Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect. Exposure to 1,4-dichloro-benzene may be evaluated by measuring the levels of this compound in blood, breath, milk, and adipose tissue, and by measuring the level of 2,5-dichlorophenol, a metabolite of 1,4-dichlorobenzene, in urine (Bristol et al. 1982 Erickson et al. 1980 Jan 1983 Langhorst and Nestrick 1979 Pellizzari et al. 1985). Sensitive analytical methods are available for measurements in blood. Development of methods with improved specificity and sensitivity for other tissues and breath would be valuable in identifying individuals with low-level exposure. Development of standardized procedures would permit comparison of data and facilitate the study of correlations between exposure and measured levels biological samples. Interlaboratory studies are also needed to provide better performance data for methods currently in use. 

Although MBK is considered to be only a mild sensory irritant with acute exposure, an outbreak of neuropathy among workers in a coated fabrics plant in 1973 revealed the more serious consequences of chronic exposure. Workers exposed to the mixed vapor of MBK (averaging 9.2 ppm in front of printing machines and 3 6 ppm behind) for 6-12 months with extensive skin exposure developed peripheral neuropathy. " The neurological pattern was one of a distal motor and sensory disorder, with minimal loss of tendon reflexes. In those with prominent motor involvement, initial... 

With estimates of 3 million people being overtly affected by pesticides each year, there is clearly much work to be done to reduce exposures. Developing countries continue to use pesticides that have been banned in the United States and Europe.

Tissue arsenic concentrations at day 84, in mg As/kg DW, were 21 in liver, 39 in gallbladder, and 60 (as As ) in bile vs. <0.5 for all control tissues 22... 

Postdevelopment Treatment. Descum. A photoresist plasma descum step is typically but not always used after development. This step removes unwanted resist residues that were not cleared out during development and, in effect, increases the process latitude of the occasionally troublesome exposure-development sequence. Likewise, the descum step can smooth out minor irregularities of the resist side wall. This mild plasma treatment is done with 02 or 02-CF4 gases with low power and pressure settings, short process times, or both. The same plasma under more-vigorous conditions may be used later to strip the resist at the end of the masking operation.

Mix equal parts of A and B immediately before use. The mixed solution has very poor keeping qualities and should be discarded immediately after using. With normal exposures development is complete in 4 to 4 4 minutes at 65F/18C. 

In the case of a photoresist, the ultimate definable feature size together with the ability of the material to withstand either chemical etchants or plasma environments determines the domain of utility. The feature size is in turn determined by the wavelength required for exposure, the sensitivity and contrast of the resist, and the dimensional stability of the material during exposure, development, and subsequent processing. Adhesion of the resist to the substrate is critical both for patterning and use, and adhesion can be affected by surface preparations, and by residual stresses developed during deposition and cure. While photo-imagable polyimides have been introduced, their principal intended application is as a component of the finished part, either as passivant or interlevel dielectric (see below). 

An anesthetist who was suspected of occupational exposure developed redness and blistering after applying a test dose of tetracaine. 

Effect. No specific biomarkers of effect for 1,1,1 -trichloroethane were located in the literature. The central nervous system is apparently the most sensitive organ in humans and animals, and neurotoxicity (decreased psychomotor performance, ataxia, and unconsciousness) is observed after short-term high-level exposure. Development of specific biomarkers of effect would facilitate medical surveillance, which could lead to early detection of adverse effects.
