Dear Colleagues, Am searching for practical information / experience on patterning hydrophobic layers. For example, depositing a hydrophobic layer (i.e. C4F8) on a silicon substrate, spinning on positive or negative photoresist (achieving good coverage with or without the use of an adhesive intermediate layer), achieving good lithographic results, and etching the hydrophobic layer resulting in a patterned hydrophobic layer while the silicon retains its surface properties. Alternatively, using a successful lift-off process. Any experiences, information, recipes, etc would be greatly appreciated.
