摘要

The use of SU-8 polymer resists within the MEMS field has been growing exponentially over the last few years. SU-8's images are the product of photochemical and thermal cationic processes and result in structures with vertical sidewalls and high aspect ratio features in films of only a few microns in thickness or hundreds of microns in thickness. When crosslinked it forms a highly stable, chemically resistant polymeric structure which has found a wide range of utility in the MEMS area. Its high aspect ratio features have been used to form electroplated metal parts, micromolds for injection molding, masters for hot embossing, and molds to form polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structures for bioMEMS applications. Its chemical resistance has been used to advantage for use in microchannels, ink jet components and microarrays for bio analysis and more recently because of its structural integrity it has found utility in various sensors and actuators such as AFM cantilevers, integrated strain sensor elements and as integrated waveguides for bio separation and analysis.rnHowever, in many of these more permanent applications SU-8 is a new material and has yet to be proven in its long term utility. Whether it is its solvent resistance, its structural integrity over time, its biocompatibility, or its resistance to yellowing, each application has real world requirements which must be demonstrated and proven before commercial viability can be ascertained. In some cases the resulting structure can be expected to meet the final requirements, but in other cases it is anticipated that modifications will be needed to reach the final goal. In such cases these modifications still need to be developed, tested and proven. However, there is a great deal of inertia already generated with SU-8 polymer MEMS that one can expect to see more commercialization successes and new applications developed in the near future.
