I'll be happy to make it for $500/kg ~L
<berndj>
do you _need_ to use SU-8, won't DNQ work?
<berndj>
azonenberg (hey where is he btw) did some MEMS experiments with DNQ AFAIK, and had some issues with flaking / delamination / etchand seeping through the cracks in the resist
<CaptHindsight>
depends on what you want to do with it
<CaptHindsight>
su-8 is very common with lots of recommendations on how to cure it
<CaptHindsight>
but it's really nothing special as a photopolymer
<berndj>
i thought the problem su-8 presents is how to get the cured bits *off* again
<berndj>
(without also removing what it's cured onto)
<CaptHindsight>
thats really not that complicated
<CaptHindsight>
there are lots of water soluble or organic solvent soluble components
<CaptHindsight>
I wasn't aware of its price
<CaptHindsight>
I wonder if there is a process patent that blocks competition
<berndj>
wouldn't that have expired already, unless it's an improved process that came a good bit later than SU-8 itself?
<CaptHindsight>
yeah, I think it's been around for quite some time
<CaptHindsight>
I've never used SU-8, just seen it referenced often in literature
