In this study, we propose and evaluate a novel low-auto-fluorescence photoresist (SJI photoresist) for bio-application, e.g., in gene analysis and cell assay. The spin-coated SJI photoresist has a wide thickness range of ten to several hundred micrometers, and photoresist microstructures with an aspect ratio of over 7 and micropatterns of less than 2 mu m are successfully fabricated. The emission spectrum intensity of the SJI photoresist is found to be over 80% less than that of the widely used SU-8 photoresist. To evaluate the validity of using the proposed photoresist in bio-application for fluorescence observation, we demonstrate a chromosome extension device composed of the SJI photoresist. The normalized contrast ratio of the SJI photoresist exhibits a 50% improvement over that of the SU-8 photoresist; thus, the SJI photoresist is a versatile tool for bio-application.
