I have used cyanoacrylate (super glue) to hold on shadow masks. Apply a fraction of a drop with a toothpick so you don't get too much. To remove, heat above about 300 C and it decomposes, leaving a dust. Just wipe it off. Acetone or MEK at room temperature might also work for removal. --Kirt Williams ----- Original Message ----- From: "Prasoon Joshi"To: Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 1:13 PM Subject: [mems-talk] Mounting shadow masks > Hi, > > I have been using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Cu grids, as a > shadow mask for e-beam evaporation.
