negative photoresist based on EPON SU-8 resin.The resist has been specifically developed for the applications requiring high aspect ratios in very thick layers. However
this photoresist has proven very sensitive to process variations. The main process variations influencing the pattern such as pre-and postbake temperature and time
exposure time and development time have been studied. And the conclusion that prebake and development time are the main factors affecting the image’s resolution and aspect-ratio
has been drawn.After analyzing the experiment results
a proposed fabrication process for 200μm SU-8 application is given as follows:coating at a speed of 200μm/s
prebaking at 95°C for 1 hour
near-UV(400nm) contacting lithography
postbaking at 95°C for 30 min and development for 20 min. In addition
the main two problems involved in the experiment are researched.One is the bend of substrate
which can be resolved by the following solutions:decreasing the postbake temperature and increasing the postbake time
using thick wafer instead of thin one
dividing the thin wafer into 4~8 pieces and designing the mask reasonably.The other is the removal of SU-8
which can be resolved by the combination of marinating in hot acetone
ultrasonic cleanout
RIE and cineration at high temperature.
