: Investigations were conducted in the optimization of a lift-off photolithography technique using thick negative photoresist (PR) NR9-8000 to achieve and optimize micron-scale interdigitated capacitor (IDC) structures by lift-off process for use in high-frequency electrical characterization measurements. Target feature resolution was in the range of 3 20 m, with PR thickness in the range of 6 20 m. Systematic deviations were made from manufacturer-recommended PR processing conditions to investigate a processing-structure relationship for optimizing of IDC fabrication including PR response to manipulation of substrate material, spin-speed, postexposure bake, exposure dose, and development process conditions. Postexposure bake temperature was found to be the most sensitive and critical parameter for the optimization of PR structures.
