Thank you, Sounds possible, I just knew that someone already did some stuff with this imprinter. Can you recommend me a collimator adapter or at least a company?

I suspect the UV lamp creates scattered light that exposes the entire film. ------------------ Best regards, Xing Sheng 2014-07-07 From: Dimitar Dimitrov Date: 2014-07-07 12:25 To: mems-talk@memsnet.org Subject: [mems-talk] Unremoved SU-8 after exposure Hello, I am graduate student in Brooklyn College and I am trying to reinvent the whole MEMS procedure as I do not have any professional help. My science adviser is from another field. I am having difficulties with the developing of SU-8 2025. Here is what I am doing: I am spin - coating 4 inch Si or Pyrex wafer to 50 - 60 um thin film Pre - baking at 96 degrees for 15 min Sometimes instead I am putting the wafer in the vacuum chamber of my UV imprinter. The vacuum is taking away the solvent and clear most of the bubbles. UV exposure with a hand made Imprinter: Xenon lamp 22kV at 10 microsec. pulses. Three 30 seconds exposures with couple of seconds pause. UV lamp creates heat so the wafer is let for 2 - 3 min to relax. Post bake of 15 min at 95 degrees. Developing by tenderly shaking the wafer in a vessel with Propylene glycol monomethyl ether forever. The result is that I clearly can see my pattern as exposed SU-8 is yelowish but the unexposed parts are not removed and form thin film with the exposed part. Less exposure leads to removing all of the polymer. (This is happening even without any mask but the pattern is formed by metal structure that divides 4 inch wafer into several smaller regions.) Can anybody figure out what is my mistake?
