Dear All,

For some of my experiments I need to have metal patterns onto PDMS. I
have gone through the litreature available on net and found that
plasma oxidation followed by e-beam evaporation of metals form stable
metal films. As we dont have an e-beam system for evaporation of gold.
I tried depositing Chrome-Gold layers by sputter after plasma
oxidation of PDMS. What I obtained was buckled metal layers. Can
anyone please suggest some method to get rid of the buckling/ waves
formed.
