Juntao,
        Are you using HMDS adhesion promoter and are you balancing the primed
surface tension to the liquid surface tension of the SU8.  Contact me directly I
will go into details to get the best adhesion between your substrate and liquid.

Subject: [mems-talk] SU-8 adhension problem


Hi,

I use SU-8 (2000 series) to make multilever mould for PDMS microfludics. I
tried both silicon and glass as the substrate. The SU-8 exposure and
development are fine, the mould looks good. But when I peeled PDMS from the
mould, most of the SU-8 structure are peeled off with PDMS, the mould can't
be reused. It seems the adhension between SU-8 and the substrate is very
poor. Anyone could give me some suggestionon how to improve the adhesion? If
I need underexpose SU-8 to improve the adhension? Thanks!

Juntao
