Greetings: Is the following feasible? 1) Mask <100> silicon wafers having aluminum and titanium structures. 2) Etch holes all the way through (300 microns) etching from both sides using EDP or KOH. 3) Remove the photoresist without disturbing the Ti or Al. (I worry about galvanic effects during the stripping due to the presence of Si, Ti, and Al.) It is my understanding that well cured SU8 might work as the resist and SMST-M might work as the stripper. The following is all I know about the stripper: "SMST-M This formulation is the standard formulation. It doesn't attact metals such as aluminium, gold, titanium, chromium, but a slight attact of copper and nickel can be observed." I have contacted the vendor of the stripper, SOTEC MICROSYSTEMS SA, but often users know more than the vendor.
