Abstract
BPR-100 thick photoresist was characterised by spin speed, exposure time, ultra-violet light (UV) absorption, development time and reactive ion etching (RIE) rates. This photoresist has been found to be highly stable in chemical baths and as a mask for RIE. The thickness of the resist varies with spin speed from 15 to 90 mum with a single spin. Optical and scanning electron microscopy images show vertical sidewalls and crack-free resist surfaces with a production-type reproducibility. An aspect ratio of 3:1 was achieved under optimum conditions.
