hi all I am using AZ5214E as postive PR for the lift-off process. However, the PR is keeping strip from sub during the development. My procedure is (Si sub with 1 micron PECVD SiO2 deposited and pre-cleaned with actone, IPA, rinse with DI water, dry with N2 flow) 1) Dehydration: hot plate 150C 10 mins (no HDMS because I need the sub surface hydrophilic for the later function) 2) Spin coat: AZ5214E 5000RPM 1000R/s 30s 3) Softbake: 95C 1min 4) Expouse 7s @ 900W (MA8) 5) Develop (AZ developer 30s) 6) Rinse in DI water (30s) 7) Rinse with flow DI water and Dry with N2 flow The situation is worst when I develop the sample immediately after expouse, but getting better if I do a hardbake after exposure. But I am not sure whether this hardbake will make later liftoff difficult or not? So, I would appreciate if you guys could give some suggestion on my procedure. thanks a lot in advance!
