Uneven surface thickness of SU-8 2100

Hi Nirmal,

That's a very slow spin speed, so it's going to be tough to get a flat
surface. My suggestion is to spin at 800 rpm and postpone the
pre-bake. Instead, place the wafer on a flat level surface for a day
or two (cover it so that it stays clean) to allow the unbaked resist
to self level. I don't know if it will meet your requirements for
flatness, but it should be better than spinning only.

Best,
Joe Grogan
