Developing of the SU-8 patterns is done in the [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/Development#SU8-Developer|special developing station]] placed in cleanroom C-1 at Danchip. Under developing the substrates are immersed in Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) first in a bath marked "First" and after in a bath marked "Final".
'''Development speed:'''
*Puddle development in mr DEV 600 (PGMEA): ~20 µm/min
*Immersion development in mr DEV 600 (PGMEA): ~20 µm/min


The development time is dependent on the layer thickness. Minimum development time: 1 min per 20µm in "First".


After the development the substrate must be rinsed with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) on both side for 30 sec. White traces during rinsing indicate incomplete development of SU-8.
'''Puddle development:'''
Puddle development can be done in the Spin coater: gamma ebeam & UV using one of the predefined development sequences. The development is a puddle development, and it requires that the substrate does not have an through holes - if the substrate has


Finally the substrates are dried in air in the drying box or with a nitrogen gun.
'''Immersion development:'''<br>
Immersion development can be done in the [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/Development#SU8-Developer|Developer SU-8]] located in cleanroom E-4:
#The development time is dependent on the layer thickness. Minimum development time in "First" bath is 1 min per 20 µm resist film thickness
#After development the substrate must be rinsed with IPA on both sides for ~30 sec. White traces during rinsing indicates incomplete development of SU-8
