Thank you guys for your suggestions. It seems the SU-8 was not softbaked for a long enough time. I tried a longer time than recommended and this time it is not soft and sticky. However, I do get some other problems in softbake. I saw a lot of divots forming in softbake. The normal cleaning process using acetone IPA and DI water works well for my Cr mask with SU-8 residue on it. Peeling SU-8 off from 4'' silicon wafer with Polystyrene and toluene still make me headache. The SU-8 is very crispy, which breaks into pieces when stripping it off. I think it may be caused by the uneven surface with a lot of divots. It may also be contaminated by Polystyrene during softbake. My peeled off SU-8 is translucent rather than transparent. Any other thoughts?
