Andrea, When etching 17,000 Angstroms of SiO2 for about 15 minutes in BHF I got constant resist lift. When I used Vacuum Vapor Prime I tested pieces that were 7 days old with no problems. I can offer free tests that will survive weeks of shipping. bmoffat@yieldengineering.com.

And what is your baking recipe for S1813? It could be that you are etching for too long and the resist is attacked too much by BHF. Cheers, Marcel
