I have used the Microchem XP-adhesion/release layer. It might have a new
name since it came out of the experimental phase. I have only used it a
few times so far but it works well. I noticed no difference with the
adhesion (The SU-8 has not lifted up in the few PDMS molds I have made) and
when I removed it, the 50 micron features started to lift off after a
minute in PRS, and the wafer was clean in an hour of hot soaking.
