Natacha, I have obtained very good adhesion using Cr/Au on Si. Could you try that possibly? Same thickness' that you have used as well. Thomas -----Original Message----- From: natacha smetana Subject: [mems-talk] Adherence of Ti/Au films Dear members of the MEMS community I have a problem of adherence of my Ti/Au films on Si and glass substrates. Both layer are grown by thermal evaporation (Joule effect) in a vaccum better than 1e-6 mbar. The growth speed is around 0.2 A/s for Ti and 1 A/s for Au. The thickness of my gold layer is 50 nm and between 5 and 10 nm for Ti. Does anyone can indicate me what can be wrong with my parameters?? Or if anyone has some parameters to recommend...
