3 Polymer: SU-8 Polymer Materials: SU-8, PMMA, BCB, PDMS, Parylene, Liquid crystal polymer, Applications: Properties: Transparent Optical MEMS High aspect ratio Biocompatible BioMEMS Flexible Low processing CMOS Integration temperature Easy spin-on deposition Packaging Planarization Microfluidics: microchannels, lab-on-a-chip, utas Wafer Bonding Packaging: epoxy, BCB Biocompatible coating RF applications: Antennas, varactors, etc. Fuel Cells Data Storage EEL6935 Advanced MEMS 2005 H. Xie 9 SU-8 is a negative, epoxy-type, near-uv photoresist (365 nm). Can be as thick as 2 mm Aspect ratios up to 25 have been demonstrated with a standard UV-lithography. Originally developed, and patented by IBM-Watson Rechearch Center (Yorktown Height-USA). In 1996 the material has been adapted for MEMS applications during a collaboration between EPFL-Institute of Microsystems and IBM-Zurich. The main part is the EPON SU8 epoxy from Shell Chemicals. It is a highly functionalized molecule with 8 epoxy groups. The polymerization is done by a cationic photopolymerization mechanism EEL6935 Advanced MEMS 2005 H. Xie 10 SU-8: Processing SU-8 Microstructures Spin-coating: over 1mm thickness achievable Soft bake: 95 C; 25 minutes for 100µm thick layers, 180 minutes for 200 µm Exposure: near-uv (365nm); continuous long-time high-dose exposure causes hard-skin on the SU8 surface; Stepwise exposures (expose, then cool down, then expose, cool down again, ) Post exposure bake: 95 C for 15 minutes, or 50 C for 1 hour; lower temperature baking yields lower residual stress. Development: room temperature; development time depends on thickness Hard bake (not required): 200 C; increase internal stresses or even results in cracks. SU-8 Stripping High-pressure water jets High temperature ashing: in an inert gas Chemical etching: e.g. fuming nitric acid Plasma etching SF6/O2 plasma, nickel as mask (Hong et al, DTIP 03) EEL6935 Advanced MEMS 2005 H.
