Fabrication and Measurement of Test Structures to Monitor Stress in SU-8 Films
This is a key output from an industrially funded project (£1M, National Semiconductor-TI), which is developing thick electroplated metal features for micro-scale magnetic components, such as inductors. This invited paper, extending earlier IEEE ICMTS 2010 (DoI:10.1109/ICMTS.2010.5466870), presents, for the first time, measurements of structures fabricated in the thick photoresist SU-8. This has resulted in 3 further PhD studies, one of which is 50% funded by TI, and another by the Smart Microsystems Flagship project FS/01/02/10 (EPSRC £1.5M) with industrial contributions from 7 multinationals (£1.4M), all within ERPE. The work has been extended in IEEE ICMTS 2013 (DoI:10.1109/ICMTS.2013.6528137)
