Hopefully others will confirm this line of thought, but I believe that with a 10 hr etch you are likely to have problems no matter how resistant your photoresist is to HF/BOE. Something like SU8 shouldn't etch in HF, but it won't stay on your substrate for that long either. Let's say conservatively that you get an etch rate of 50nm/min on your substrate (though if it's SiO2 it will be faster). That means that after 10 hours you'll have etched 30um deep AND 30um sideways since it's isotropic. So you'd have to have features bigger than 60 um just to keep them from getting completely undercut. In reality you could get much faster etching and minor delamination problems compounding to make it all even worse. What is it you're trying to etch for so long? Maybe there's another approach that could be suggested. -Joe Grogan Wang, Yu wrote: > Hi, > > I'm looking for negative photoresist that can withstand 6:1 BOE for a long time (10 hours or longer), and would be very grateful if you could recommend any commercial product. > > Thanks, > > Yu Wang
