SU8 maximum aspect ratio

Hi Erkin,

Using h-line (405nm) dominated UV broadband and
glycerin gap compensation, you can get reasonable good
SU-8 structure, with 1150um high and 6um feature size.
Microstructures with height up to 2 mm and good
sidewall quality also can be obtained.

The sidewall quality can be controlled by the
optimization of i-line/h-line ratio.

Reference:

compensation and wavelength selection in
UV-lithography of ultra-high aspect ratio SU-8
microstructures " SENSORS AND ACTUATORS B-CHEMICAL 110
(2): 279-288 OCT 14 2005

"UV-LIGA fabrication of microscale two-level mold
inserts for MEMS applications" SPIE, v 5717,2005, p
175-184

Good luck

Regards

Ren Yang
