Diazonaphthoquinone

Diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) is a diazo derivative of naphthoquinone. Upon


Diazonaphthoquinone
exposure to light, it undergoes a Wolff rearrangement to form a ketene.[1] This
chemical reaction is exploited with a variety of diazonaphthoquinone derivatives in
the semiconductor industry.

Diazonaphthoquinone sulfonic acid esters are commonly used as components of


photoresist materials for semiconductor manufacturing.[2][3] In this application
DNQs are mixed with Novolac resin, a type of phenolic polymer. The DNQ
functions as a dissolution inhibitor. During the masking/patterning process, portions Names
of the photoresist film are exposed to light while others remain unexposed. In the
IUPAC name
unexposed regions of the resist film, the DNQ acts as a dissolution inhibitor and the
2-Diazo-2H-naphthalen-1-one
resist remains insoluble in the aqueous base developer. In the exposed regions, the
DNQ forms a ketene, which, in turn, reacts with ambient water to form a base Other names
soluble indene carboxylic acid. The exposed regions of the photoresist film become 1,2-Naphthoquinone diazide
soluble in aqueous base; thus allowing the formation of a relief image during Identifiers
development. CAS Number 879-15-2
