Bi-layer PMMA recipe

C.S. Allen 30.11.2012

  • Clean Si chip by sonication in acetone (5 mins),IPA rinse, blow dry.
  • Spin PMMA 495 A8 for 60s at 4500rpm (spin recipe ALEXPMMA).
  • Bake on hotplate at 180C for 90s.
  • Spin PMMA 950 A8 for 60s at 4500rpm (spin recipe ALEXPMMA).
  • Bake on hotplate at 180C for 90s.
  • Expose at dose 600-850 uC/cm2.
  • Develop in MIBK:IPA (1:3) at 25C(+/- 1C) for 45s.
  • After metal deposition or etch lift off in either:
    • Acetone at 80C for at least 2 hours followed agitation in acetone followed by IPA rinse.
    • DMSO at 80C for at least 2 hours followed by acetone with agitation followed by IPA rinse. N.B. We suspect hot DMSO damages graphene
