You need chromium as an adhesion layer before you sputter gold. On 25/11/2008, at 3:12 PM, li shifengwrote: Hi, guy I'm trying to write some patterns on glass substrate. Here is my process: Spin coat 500nm PMMA 950 C4, Sputtering 5nm gold EBL exposure Strip gold using TFA gold etcant for 6 second Develop in MIBK : IPA= 1:3 for 30 sec The problem is I cannot find any pattern on the substrate afterwards. What are the possible reasons for that? Anyone have similar experiences on this or has a working recipe to share?
