Dear all, we created patterns on SiO2 with Cr and Au(etching process). Then, PMMA was spin coated on the chip followed by EBeam lithography to create a few windows on PMMA. We etched part of SiO2 in diluted HF(5:50ml) for 5mins. After removing PMMA in acetone, we found all fine gold structures peeled off even under areas protected by PMMA. Could I have some suggestions to solve it please? Thanks, Hao
