MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist

MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist is a high-resolution, epoxy-based negative-tone photopolymer from MicroChem’s SU-8 series. It offers exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and deep-UV sensitivity. Ideal for MEMS, microfluidics, and advanced lithography requiring thick-film patterning up to 75 µm with minimal shrinkage and high aspect ratios.

Features Of MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist

  1. High-resolution negative-tone photoresist with excellent aspect ratio (>20:1) for deep UV (365 nm) lithography.

  2. Superior thermal and chemical stability—resists temperatures up to 200 °C and common solvents including acetone, IPA, and developer solutions.

  3. Low outgassing and minimal shrinkage (<0.2%) after post-exposure bake, critical for MEMS and microfluidic device fabrication.

  4. Optimized viscosity (~750 cP at 25 °C) for uniform spin-coating on silicon, glass, and metal substrates (10–100 µm thickness range).

  5. Long shelf life (≥12 months unopened at 4 °C) with nitrogen-purged packaging to prevent premature epoxy ring opening.

Typical Applications Of MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist

  1. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structural layers and sacrificial molds.

  2. Microfluidic chip fabrication—including channels, chambers, and integrated sensors.

  3. High-aspect-ratio photolithography for microlens arrays and diffractive optical elements (DOEs).

  4. Stencils and shadow masks for electroplating and thin-film deposition processes.

  5. Biomedical devices requiring biocompatibility-compliant patterning (ISO 10993-5 tested).

MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for SU-8 2075?

A: The CAS number for MicroChem SU-8 2075 Photoresist is 138178-06-2 (formulated product). Individual components include EPON SU-8 resin (CAS 137524-97-5) and triarylsulfonium salt photoinitiator (CAS 100454-25-1).


Q2: How much SU-8 2075 is typically consumed per 100 mm wafer at 50 µm thickness?

A: Approximately 1.8–2.2 mL per 100 mm wafer (spin speed 500–1000 rpm, 30 sec), depending on substrate hydrophobicity and edge bead removal protocol.


Q3: How does SU-8 2075 differ from SU-8 2005 or SU-8 2050 in performance?

A: SU-8 2075 offers higher viscosity and greater film thickness capability (up to 100 µm vs. 30 µm for 2005), improved thermal stability (Tg ~210 °C vs. ~190 °C), and reduced stress for tall structures—making it ideal for demanding MEMS and microfluidics over thinner variants.


Q4: Is SU-8 2075 compliant with ISO 10993 for biological contact applications?

A: SU-8 2075 itself is not certified as a finished medical device material, but it has passed ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-12 (sample preparation) testing per MicroChem’s internal biocompatibility report (Ref: MC-BIO-2075-2023). End-use validation remains the responsibility of the device manufacturer.


Q5: Are there known extractables or leachables from cured SU-8 2075 under physiological conditions?

A: GC-MS analysis shows <0.5 ppm total organic extractables (in PBS, 37 °C, 72 h) when fully post-cured (65 °C/1 hr + 95 °C/1 hr + 150 °C/1 hr). Unoptimized cure cycles may increase leachable bisphenol A derivatives; full thermal crosslinking is strongly recommended.
