At first: Thank you very much for your kind mail Mr. Kaplan. As the matter of fact, I had done like your suggestion before sending my former message, and the sealing was very good, but the electrode was not active anymore. I tried to etch the Ti layer on active Au area, but PDMS did not work very well as "mask" and I had lost the control over electro's active area again, by under-etching. By its turn, any solution involving alignment is forbidden, since in my process I have no chance to settle PDMS channels over the glass plate with that great precision. I have a trouble! ...[8^) Thank you again! NH From: "shay kaplan"To: "'General MEMS discussion'" Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 09:18:48 +0300 Subject: RE: [mems-talk] PDMS Sealing over Au?! Can you evaporate ti or cr over the gold in the crossing area?
