Patrick,

I think your sample size might be two small for SU-8.  Squares are also
a pain.  I was doing 1 inch squares and eventually switched to 2 inch
wafers because of the edge bead problem.

If you have a round substrate, you can spin the SU-8, soft-bake it, and
then put it back on the spinner and use a syringe filled with Acetone to
remove the edge bead.  That was my solution, and it worked.  I think it
would be hard to implement with square samples of any size and
impossible with 1 cm ones though.

Subject: [mems-talk] SU8 spin-coating

Hello,

I have small samples (1cm square) and try to spin-coat SU8 resist on it.
I
apply my ressit with a pipette directly on the samples and then
spin-coat. I
also try to spin slowly when appling the resist. These two ways produce
big
edge bead. How do you spin-coat SU8? How big are your samples?

Best regards,

Patrick Poissant
