PLD deposition of gold is the most adhesive to SiO2 as per my experience. >From: Ah Gong>Reply-To: General MEMS discussion >To: mems-talk@memsnet.org >Subject: [mems-talk] How to deposit gold onto a silicon dioxide or onto >aluminium >Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 09:01:49 +0800 (CST) > >Is it possible to deposit gold onto a silicon dioxide >or aluminium layer using bright electroless gold >solution as i had been trying to do so but to no avail >maybe someone can recommend me the best way to deposit >gold onto the wafer to do MEM switches or better using >the elctroless gold solution which i had bought > >===== > > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Stand a chance to win cash prizes! >http://yahoo.com.sg/millionaire > >_______________________________________________ >MEMS-talk@memsnet.org mailing list: to unsubscribe or change your list >options, visit http://mail.mems-exchange.org/mailman/listinfo/mems-talk >Hosted by the MEMS Exchange, providers of MEMS processing services. >Visit us at http://www.memsnet.org/ _________________________________________________________________ Access Hotmail from your mobile now. http://server1.msn.co.in/sp03/mobilesms/ Click here.
