Protection Layer for SU-8 Structures

Hi Silvan,

for this purpose I usually use old, expired AZ-positive resist, e.g. AZ 4533
and I remove it with AZ 400k developer UNDILUTED.
AZ 400k developer normally has to be diluted 4:1 , but undiluted
it will strip even unexposed AZ resists.
This developer ist nothing else than diluted KOH, so it will not attack
SU-8.

Another possible way is to flood expose the AZ-resist and to remove it
with normal developer.

regards
Peter
