Andrea, By default, AZ9260 is a resist designed for a 6.0 - 8.0 µm coating thickness when spun between 3000 and 4000 rpm. One can increase the thickness of a single pass coating by decreasing the casting rotational velocity but this will come at the expense of thickness control. Film thickness of 50 µm might require coating the resist four times or more! The best solution is to look for a resist which is designed for the needed thickness at 3000 rpm. You can look at the XT and nXT resists from AZ-EM. They have materials designed for the thickness range you desire and can be coated in only one or two passes.

I need a thickness of not less 50um, better 100um. Does someone have experience to share into deposition of so thick films ? Best regards, Andrea
