Martyn,
       An interesting question.  As image reversal depends upon the
refractive index on resist you would think we would have the answer.  I
am ashamed to say we do not.  If you are looking for differences in
resist profile caused by refraction index changes I may be able to help
you. Using ammonia to reverse the action of your original exposure and a
controlled flood exposure and develop.  The resist side wall can be
controlled between -22 degrees through vertical to + 22 degrees.  If
this is of any help contact me directly for technical papers and
information on free testing.

Subject: [mems-talk] Refractive Index of Photoresists

Dear All,

I am interested in finding out what the difference in refractive index
is between un-exposed (with uv radiation) and exposed photoresist.
Particularly I am interested in knowing what photoresist (or other
substance that can be applied by spinning) will give me the most
difference in refractive index between exposed and unexposed areas.
