Hello, It is hard to say the reason why you have poor pattern, as you did not mention about the protocol. Have you used the right UV exposure? Check it first. It is also important to check the lift off process, I think you are facing problem because of wrong lift off process, (high concentrated developer with extreme time). Have you used and additional layer as adhesion layer? Cr provides good result. It is also important to know on what substrate you are having this problem, is it glass/Sio2 or polymer? Accordingly, you have to follow the lift off process. Say to more about your problem solution need to know more. Thanks.

But some part of the pattern is very clear,but other area is not. What reason can cause the phenomena?
