Hello thinfilm experts,

  I need to get a thin sheet of Cr so I can study its structure, but I can't
seem to figure out a recipe to do so. Whenever I put an evaporated sample into
acetone or any resist remover to do the lift off, I can see sheets of metal of
different sizes flowing around. However, with E-beam evaporated Cr , 1000 to
3000 A thick, the metal discopose into acetone as if I were using ultrasound
bath. it appears as if there is no bonding between the grains of the Cr and thus
it can't form sheet of metal. What puzzling me is that Cr is mainly being used
as adhesion promoter, but why its grains don't seem to stick to each other? Can
someone shed a light on this darkness of mine?


  Many thanks

  Hung
