Hi Thomas,

You should try the AZ10XT resists from AZ Electronic Materials.
Bake time is relatively short (~3-4' for ~8µm thick resist) and it allows a
large range of thicknesses (from ~6µm to >20µm in a single spin step) and it
is developed with MF351, AZ400k, and OPD resists.
If you want more informations about the processes just contact me directely
by mail.

In other words AZ10XT resist works very well and is quite flexible and easy
to use.


Kind regards,
Edouard Duriau
