Abstract

Process conditions of a novel negative thick photoresist, JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$, are established in this paper. Although SU-8 obtains uniform and high-aspect-ratio structures, it is hard to remove the SU-8 mold after electroplating. The JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ can be more easily removed than the SU-8 and has a low internal stress. Introducing two step strip processes using acetone and the jSR THB-$S1^{(R)}$, the JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ electroplating mold was removed completely and a JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ film stress is compressive less than 2 MPa. In this paper, we obatined $200{\mu}m$ thick PR structure and $100{\mu}m$ thick electroplated nickel structure using the JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ photoresist.
