Hi all, first of all i want to thank Sebastian, Daniel, Jie and Andrew for their suggestions....thank you very much. Surely the right term to define this type of process is not bylayer process but planarization/etch-back, and also probably in my mail i have not well explain my intention, and and i will try to do it now. I am using Shipley1818 (positive photoresist) as sacrificial layer for the realization of a suspended membrane. Now, after the development of the S1818 the profile is rectangular like as normally have to be. Arrived at this point i want to change its shape from rectangular to round. To do this i have overdevelop the resist for 2 minutes and after i have baked it again @180°C for 10 minutes having in this way a reflow of the resist. The shape now is changed but not from rectangual to round but in a rectangular with two spike on the edge...yes the slope of the profile is changed but not as i wanted. Now my question is: Is possible change the shape of S1818 from rectangular to round with the deposition of another photoresist onto the S1818? Thank again and sorry for the miserunderstanding. Have a nice weekend. Andrea Lucibello
