I should have mentioned ... I use dc-magnetron 3" target 100-W sputtering. thomas ________________________________________ From: mems-talk-bounces+wilsont=marshall.edu@memsnet.org [mems-talk- bounces+wilsont=marshall.edu@memsnet.org] On Behalf Of Wilson, Thomas [wilsont@marshall.edu] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 12:08 PM To: General MEMS discussion Subject: Re: [mems-talk] liftoff with AZ5214 I recommend you try AZ5214E in image-reversal mode (relatively simple). See application note AZ 5200-E-IR Negative Tone Processsing. I now can do 900-nm thick lift-off (30-min soak and 10-sec sonication) of 4-micron space, 6-micron line Nb gratings routinely (for 900-nm as opposed to 500 nm however, I found I need to increase the PR thickness via two successive spins (4000 rpm) and two softbakes => 1.8-um thick resist). Good luck. Thomas
