Make sure the temperature is not ramped too fast. In particular I would
recommend always allowing the wafer remain on the hotplate whilst
cooling down.
The PEB introduces most stress especially when large areas of SU-8 are
exposed. A lower temperature PEB for longer periods generally gives
better results.
Insufficient exposure dose could also be a cause.
