Can you strip the hard cured BCB?

Hello Joonyeop,
Hard-cured BCB is hard to strip.
The solvent mesitylene might work - very slowly. We use it to clean
non-cured BCB off the spinning chuck. I even used physical rubbing to remove
non-cured BCB rests off a mask. Xylene is supposed to work as well.
A CF4 and O2 plasma etch will etch the BCB, but can attack the silicon below
it, too.
Hot H2SO4:H2O2 3:1 should also work. (See Greg Miller,

Best regards,
Sjoerd Haasl
