Make sure the temperature is not ramped too fast. In particular I would recommend always allowing the wafer remain on the hotplate whilst cooling down. The PEB introduces most stress especially when large areas of SU-8 are exposed. A lower temperature PEB for longer periods generally gives better results. Insufficient exposure dose could also be a cause. Bin Wang wrote: > Hi all, > > Recently we met a problem on SU-8 adhesion.
