I want to run some soft-lithography treatment and looking for a photoresist. SU8 seems to be very good but the price offered by MicroChem is so expensive (upto > $500/ 500ml bottle). Can we buy it elsewhere at cheaper price?
SU8 won't be cheap - I know that there was a supplier in Switzerland, Sotec microsystems around the year 2000, but as far as I know, there went into a business failure. Checking this out, I found a second swiss supplier: http://www.gersteltec.ch/
however I have no experience with their pricings ... Good luck, Dirk
What properties are you specifically looking for? There may well be a suitable alternative for your application that is more affordable.
In my opinion SU-8 is reasonably value given the wide range of applications, versatility and robust nature. You can also dilute thicker solutions fairly easily.
Thanks guys. SU8 is dominatedly sold by Microchem. It is very expensive and hard to use but the most popular. There are no options for me but going with it.
