Chrome Plasma Etching without Cl?

If your Cr layer is thin you might be able to just sputter it off, even with
oxygen.

Has anyone had any success etching Chrome using plasmas from CHF3, SF6, O2, or
N2  (or any combination thereof)?

I don't have any good reason to suspect that any of these should work, but I
can't use normal Chlorine plasmas with this device, as the exposed Au I have
restricts which machines I'm permitted to use. I'm currently using wet etching,
but I'd like to reduce the undercutting a bit.
