adhesion problem for SU-8 on Si when hot-embossing

Hi,

I had a similar problem with the SU8. the problem
was the exposure time was too short. after that,
i studied the impact on the exposure time. If
your structure are under-exposed the bonding
between SI and SU8 is really bad. If your
structure are over exposed, the larger increase.
  in my case, i measured the light power with a
powermeter but without the quartz plate (support
of my mask) and the mask i used. the difference is over 40% !!!

best regards,

fabrice
