SU-8 Information Page



SU-8 comes in many varieties with different densities and viscosities, allowing for the fabrication of structures with a wide range of thicknesses. The correct SU-8 variety and spin speed must be used to achieve a specific thickness. Other fabrication procedures also change due to thickness and the type of SU-8.

The table below shows thickness, spin speed, pre-bake times, post-exposure bake times, and development times based off of data available in MicroChem's datasheets. Some recipes developed at BYU are also in the table. Also below are notes on SU-8 processing and helpful links and datasheets.
