Thanks for the information:). I didnt try thermal release tape that you mentioned but I did try thermal grease itself. I had local heating effects which seemed to etch the photoresist away quickly. The problem I believe is that I am trying to etch down to more than 200u. I might be using metal/oxide mask to get around this entire issue.

It can be Nitto's band also. :) > --- > > > From: snsnair@vt.edu > > Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 10:50:28 -0500 > > To: mems-talk@memsnet.org > > Subject: Re: [mems-talk] Adhesive to bond onto a carrier wafer for > etching > > > > Dear Mr. Bolukbas, > > > > Appreciate your response.
