Modifying the surface inhibition layer of thick resists for improved process control

A method allowing full or partial removal of the pronounced surface inhibition layer found in some thick resists is described. Removal of such surface inhibition layer allows the development step to proceed more smoothly thereby improving process control. This modification to the resist process is particularly applicable to thick resist applications such as grey-scale lithography for MEMS.
