The deposited layer would be roughly 2-5 times thinner than the height of the posts, right? Have you thought about area coating, i.e. moving the dispense line from wafer center to edge during dispense? Another approch to ease the situation could be doing spin-off with two speeds after dispense: One for getting rid of most of the redundant dispense material, and the second (higher) one for adjusting the layer thickness.

I want a coat ~ 0.2-0.5 microns of the polymer on the posts of the substrate. Of course, there would stuff on the recesses, but that's not a concern.
