Greetings, Before we can begin to address your questions neither material will be fully cured at .< than 200 degrees C Regards Walter www.elume.com -----Original Message----- From: Fabio Altomare [mailto:altomare@phy.duke.edu] Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 7:02 AM To: mems-talk@memsnet.org Subject: [mems-talk] Gate insulator Dear All I am looking for some dielectric as gate insulator. As far as I can tell from reading the list archives, the most common are: 1) BCB 2) Spin-on glass 3) Polyimide After depositing the dielectric, I will need to do e-beam lithography (PMMA as resist and MIBK as developer) and evaporate metallic gates. The highest temperature I would like to use for curing should be <=200 Celsius and the dielectric should be <500 nm thick. Can anyone suggest if any of the above dielectric might be better than the others? Also, has anyone ever used additives to cross link PMMA with UV Thank you very much Fabio -- Fabio Altomare Post Doctoral Research Associate Physics Department Duke University
