Hi All I am trying to deposit a 1um silicon dioxide layer on gold to be the dielectric insulator layer between the bottom gold electrode and the top gold electrode. I tried the ebeam evaporation of silicon dioxide due to limited access to other facilities like PECVD or sputterer. It turns out there are pin holes in the evaporated layer and the top gold electrode get short connected to the bottom gold electrode. Any one has any experiences of doing the similar structures: gold / dielectric /gold ? I appreciate if anyone can provide useful information Thanks so much Fei _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
