But you could use an 'egg crate" directional filter than could enable sputtering for lift off if that is all you've got. The undercut resist is key. Gary Gary Hillman S-Cubed PO Box 365 9 Mars Ct.

Sputtering deposition will cover the side wall of pattern, which is not good for lift-off. Regards Weiquan
