===SU8aniso===
The anisotropic SU8aniso etch was design to etch structures in SU-8 with a low roughness of the etched surface, however it has not been tested with any mask material. For a polymeric mask a low selectivity is expected. The etch rate was measured to around 400 nm/min, but will depend on wafer coverage. The surface layer concentration of antimony (Sb) after etch is expected to be below 2%.
