Photoresist for Silicon DRIE

Hi Stephan,

We have used AZ-P4620 with good results.  A hard bake after developing will
help the selectivity but will also cause the photoresist to shrink a little.
We have also used multiple layers of AZ-P4620 to achieve 500 micron depths,
but the lithography for a two layer resist can be tricky.  Final etch depth
with this resist will depend on the amount of exposed silicon on your design.
If possible minimise the amount of exposed Si.
