Dry Film Photoresist

NCU Dry Films exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and chemical resistance, excellent tenting properties, exceptional resolution, and good adhesion to a variety of substrates. They find use in permanent MEMS applications and some etch applications where high aspect ratio/resolutions is required. Contact NCU for more details.
