摘要
SU-8 has great potential in low cost ultra-thick high aspect ratio MEMS applications. Although a broad range of thickness (from mu m to mm) can be obtained by spin coating, the works about the sidewall profile and dimension control of SU-8 microstructures have not been published in detail. This paper describes the detailed investigations on the effects of processing parameters such as UV wavelength and exposure dose on dimensional change and sidewall profile of SU-8 microstructures. The optimized processing parameters for SU-8 structures with the thickness from 10 to 360 mu m are presented.
