Problem§ Sidewall roughness – traced
back to resist roughness OCG-825 20
Solution§ Evaluate different positive resist§ AZ5214 traditionally used for image
reversal§ Will try to use as positive resist§ Additional benefit – single resist

Optical LogicAZ5214 Resist Evaluation§ Postbake reflow improves sidewalls, but want to improve sidewall profile as well
Postbake 95°C 30 minSidewall slope ~60°
No postbakeVacuum cure: 15 min ~10-5 torr (turbo)
Sidewall slope ~80-85°
