Matteo, It is impossible to get vertical side walls, without image reversal. Your light source is not 100% collimated. The exposure light is then refracted at the resist interface so you will always get a slight angle with normal exposure. If you reverse mask expose, then neutralize in an image reversal unit. It is then possible to control the flood exposure to get any angle, from a positive 22 degrees, through vertical to a negative 22 degrees. Perfect vertical side walls or perfect lift off profile. Any Thickness I have used 40 microns thick and with 1 micron thick resist have seen 0.08 micron geometry. Contact me for multiple technical papers.
