Hi folks,

i have a question concerning
Tridecafluor-1,1,2,2-tetra-hydrooctyl-trichlorosilane (TDTS).

Before we do softlithography with PDMS, our wafers are covered with
vapour of this chemical. Sometimes, there are wafers that are not needed
anymore. without the tdts the su-8 structures on it can be easyly
removed with Caro's acid. That doesn't work for TDTS covered wafers -
they are highly resistant. Does anyone know how to remove this silane,
so that the wafer can be reused?

Thanks in advance!
