Hi, Thank you all for the advice! I checked my hotplate, and I think it works ok, because I found that the the SU-8 layer shrunk a lot and the edge of silicon wafer appeared after soft-bake, when I used higher soft-bake dose. The exposure dose should be reduced than that without Omega UV filter, but I also tried to increase the exposure time by 40%. The problem has not been solved yet. Can this problem have something to do with the photoresist itself? The SU-8 I am using is stored in a small bottle ( sealed but not very well ) instead of the original bottle, and put in the refrigerator (several degree above zero) for over two months.

Check if you have maybe some problem with your hotplate? If > that is correct, maybe you are under-exposing.
