SU-8 2025 on AZ 4620 Sacrificial Layer

Shiv,

I'm not a MEMS expert so I don't know what you want to do. Is the SU-8
supposed to be permanent. If so the 4620 should go on top. I also assume
that the SU-8 developer is a solvent which will dissolve the AZ 4620. If you
need a thick sacrificial resist you will need one that does not dissolve in
the SU-8 developer. You will need to talk to the manufacturers to to find
the compatible materials.

Bill
