Dear Han Chong,

Thank you for your information.
I have one last question, is there any way to increase
the adhesion between SU-8 and substrate so that even I
extend the etching time it will not peel off? The
substrate that I use is Si heavy n-doped.

as I know, Su-8 will have average adhesion with Si,
and HF will increase the adhesion capability. However,
is there any additional layer I need to deposit before
I coat with SU-8 in order to increase the adhesion?

Thank you once again,
Haroon

A well prepared SU-8 pattern can withstand most of the
strong acids
even at elecvated temperature. From experience, SU-8
didn't seem to be
seriously affected by HF or HNA. But beware of the
possibility of SU-8
peeling off from the wafer if the etching time is
extended.

regards

Han Chong
