SU8 Training for Lilia, Vincent, and Douglas. We made one complete flow wafer.

Work done, initially on four blank wafers:

  • O2 plasma stripped
  • SU8 spin-coated + baked. Most wafers had defects (bubbles, or even comets).
  • UV exposure of flow pattern
  • The best wafer was post-expose baked. The others were left unpolymerised
  • Developed in PGMEA. The three non-baked wafers are now stripped and blank again.
  • Valid wafer verified by optical microscopy and contact profilometry. Some dust contamination, will need to be blow-cleaned before PDMS moulding.
  • The three other wafers can be cleaned and re-used (SRD, Pirana solution, 02 plasma strip).

For details of the process, see protocol for SU8 processes: SU8 Process by CMI
