The only thing I think you could do is to change the sacrificial layer I would suggest PMGI with the following process explained in this paper Polydimethylglutarimide (PMGI) as a sacrificial material for SU-8 surface-micromachining: http://iopscience.iop.org/0960-1317/18/7/075011 On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 10:40 PM, Shiv GDwrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I am working on a Microchannel device, and facing some problem with AZ 4620 > and SU-8 Layer.
