Erkin, Keeping the under-layer from dissolving in the developer requires some sort of serious hardbake, preferably in a vacuum oven with a nitrogen purge. This won't be perfect, but it would help with your problem. You could also try using two very different resists with the upper layer having a developer chemistry that does not attack the lower layer. Finally, you could look at SiO2 or Si as a sac layer that you deposit once and pattern twice with the dimple pattern being a short timed etch (preferably RIE).
