In my experiments, I tried a post bake procedure for a 20 u thick AZ P4620 photoresist spun on a glass slide. i observed that the features were destroyed after the post bake. the post bake was done for 5 min at 120 deg. C. According to the literature, post bake is an optional step for thick photoresist layer and the features may distort due to "Reflow" if the hard bake is done. Can someone tell me a clear reason for this distortion for thick photoresist. -- RUPESH SAWANT Biomedical Engineering, The University of Akron, USA. Tel: 330.338.8546
