aqua regia can etch Pt but not sure if the resist can survive. As your description, why not using liftoff.

Can anyone help me in this regard too. I've on my one wafer devices with metal combinations Pt/Ti and on other wafer devices Pt/Cr and third wafer with Ti/Cr. Will it be feasible to create cavities before or after fab process. Any suggestions will be appreciated. imran mi_ghauri@yahoo.com Grad Student __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
