Pramod, You do not need an RIE for vertical side walls in a polymer. Using image reversal any angle from -22degrees through vertical to + 22 degrees side wall is standard in positive resists as thick as 40 microns to date. Thicker should be no problem. Contact me for free tests.

If any one has any kind of recipe or research paper please let me know.
