Need suggestion on UV source making su-8 master, better to be LED. Guys. I'm having difficulty getting ultra-fine feature of su-8 master using our UV-aligner. We have been making features ~40 microns with no problem. But when I push the limit to ~10 microns, it is very difficult with our home-made aligner, often resulting either cracking or un-crispy structures. The UV source is especially lousy. The intensity is neither uniform nor well-focused, and generates too much heat. Can anyone recommend a good UV source? I was hoping any LED lamp can be used. Our layer is thin, so won’t need too much energy output.
