How about Ti. It can be etched real quick. -----Original Message----- From: mems-talk-bounces+shay=mizur.com@memsnet.org [mailto:mems-talk-bounces+shay=mizur.com@memsnet.org] On Behalf Of Xiaohui Lin Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 10:24 PM To: General MEMS discussion Subject: Re: [mems-talk] Electroplating Ni on Cr thin film Thanks all. The reason I chose Cr is that it can be dry etched to leave my substrate transparent (glass substrate). I need to remove any seed layer outside the electroplating area. Cu seeds hard to be removed by etching. Anyway, I will try Cr/Au first and update here.
