> we would like to make a Ti/Pt/Au stack as electrode materials. We would like to use as thin as possible electrodes. The gold should be around 20nm. > What is the smallest thickness for Ti and Pt we should use? It all depends on your application, temperatures, and on the substrate you're depositing this on. Pt is generally used as a plating base for Au, if you just sputter the stack you don't need no Pt, and TiW is a better barrier between Au and Si.
