I have one, you ICP etched your cavity of 1x1. Then deposit your metal layer. Then, you spin resist and pattern a rectangle or 2 x0.98. With this process you will fully cover 2 sidewalls, and the 2 other will only be covered about 10 um on each side... should be all right ! Finally etch your metal and remove the resist. Hope it works florian Quoting "Xiaoguang \"Leo\" Liu": > Dear all > I've been working on a project in fabricating cavity electromagnetic > resonators that require partial metallization of the side walls.
