Hello kevin, Thanks for your suggestion. you are right heating will also evaporate the solvent in the su-8. Actually it gives me a good result. Heating makes the SU-8 soft and less viscous prior to cool down to temperature. I mean heat the SU-8 to 90 degree and spin coat it as quickly as posssible. It will completely offset the solvent evaporation impact. Regards At 2011-04-21 21:19:57,"Kevin Nichols"wrote: >I would avoid heating it.
