Hi You can try to using apeizon wax - grade W. This softens at 85 degree Celsius. You may need to come down a bit with KOH bath temp. http://www.sisweb.com/vacuum/sis/apzwaxes.htm I have came across a paper, where they have used this successfully. It is also possible to use LPCVD silicon nitride thin layer. You can think of using fixtures from AMMT - http://www.ammt.com/content/products.html Hope this helps you. amod
