Any Good Sacrificial Layers ?
[email protected]

Hello Jay,

I use a HD8820 polyimide and it works very well.
After spinning and patterning you need to cure the polymer at 280C for 2-3
hours in N2 or Ar atmosphere.
To release the suspended part, I ash off the poly - dry etch in pure O2 at
250C, 1200 watts.

Hope this can help.
Good luck,

Giuliano
