Dear Thomas

Try a two-step pre- and post-exposure bake and a 10 min relaxation time between
pre-exposure bake and post-exposure bake. I would use this protocol:
pre-exposure bake: 5 min @ 60 C
                  20 min @ 95 C
relax 10 min at RT
...
post-exp bake:  1 min @ 60 C
               10 min @ 95 C

This is suggested in the following document and the two-step bake took care of
the wrinkles for me, albeit for thinner films (ca. 30 um)
