Hello Mems experts, I want to evaporate 1000 A of pt on my substrate. The problem is the tungsten filament is getting too hot and the quartz crystal monitor which monitors the thickness is also getting too hot. Is there a way for avoiding the heat on the crystal monitor or is there some other easy way of evaporation. I have difficulty specially with platinum.The crystal monitor is already water cooled. Thanks for your time and any kind of ideas is appreciated baloo Balaji Panchapakesan Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Maryland, College Park MD20740 Email:baloo@glue.umd.edu
