Our group has traditionally worked with Dow Corning’s XR-1541-002 HSQ, and it has fit our needs for many years. However, as our stock is now reaching a reorder point, we have reached out to vendors for quotes only to find that pricing has increased to a level we could have never imagined (not to mention lead times on the order of 80 business days). With that in mind, we have been looking at alternative suppliers, including EM Resist (distributed through Integrated Micro Materials) and Allresist (Medusa 82). <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">If anyone has experience working with the EM Resist and Allresist products, we would appreciate any feedback you might you might have on how they compare to the XR-1541. For example, do you see any major differences in resolution, adhesion, dosing, etch resistance, etc.? <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">If you have other alternatives, we would love to hear about them as well, although, we do prefer to buy pre-mixed solutions as opposed to mixing dry HSQ with MIBK ourselves. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Best Regards,</div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">Matt</div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">--<br class="">Matthew T.
