Please suggest the standard method of removing the oxide form on the Cr layer after sputtering. Normally, we directly spin coat resist after sputtering of the Cr on glass/Si wafer (without dehydration of Cr layer as it causes for the Cr oxide formation). What should be the Cr sample preparation before lithography. Thank you, Nagare Gajanan D IIT Bombay,Powai. Mumbai-400 076. INDIA
