2 microns is VERY thick for evaporated metal. It will probably crack. I
wouldn't recommend evaporating anything over 1 microns thick, and even
that may be tricky.

Subject: [mems-talk] Electroplating Gold vs. E-Beam Evaporation Gold


Hi folks,

To obtain a layer of Au that is not too thick, for example, just around
2 microns, are there any significant differences in the final metal film
deposited by electroplating vs. the one by e-beam evaporation?

Thanks for your attentions and inputs.
