Anna, Do let us know the result of your experiments. =20 =20 I am also working with multiple layers of SU-8 but I am building a = free-standing 2-arm in-plane actuator on uncrosslinked SU-8 as a = sacrificial layer, so that's why I need to use a UV blocking layer such = as Chromium, for example. =20 Jeffrey ________________________________ From: mems-talk-bounces@memsnet.org on behalf of Dubnisheva, Anna Sent: Wed 4/25/2007 10:14 PM To: General MEMS discussion Subject: Re: [mems-talk] Multi layer SU-8 process Thank you to everyone who replied to my previous e-mail! I will be ordering an UV filter this week and will try the same = processes I did before with a filter and see if I will get any good = results. Those 10 um holes I'm making are suppose to go all the way through 10 um = thick layer of SU-8 2010 and stop on the SU-8 layer 2100 (100 um thick). = Since I have already exposed the bottom layer it would be no problem to = make these holes open through 10 um deep. The only problem I have is = make these holes nicely open! The final three layer SU-8 structure will = be a mold for PDMS and it is important to have 10um holes open. Speaking of using hot plates - I tried that, too, but didn't use slow = ramping up or down during the bakes. I may have to try that. Thank you again to everyone and if you will have more advice for me I = would greatly appreciate it.
