Neural Probes 5 1. Photolithography process in CINT In nano3 UCSD, the photolithography on sapphire wafer was performed with NR photoresist In CINT, theres no NR7 resist. The resist I used, AZ-5214 for image reverse, doesnt work well for sapphire (transparent wafer) This morning, Don helped me try the resist 5510 which gives a good resolution, however, it does not still stick to sapphire quite well. Ill take a look at the data sheet and some literatures to modify the 5510 process. / Nickel silicide bonding test on Sapphire wafer 300C 5min + 400C 10min300C 5min + 400C 20min300C 5min + 400C 30min /14 Thank you Q&A 7
