Lift-off with a sputtered metal layer doesn't sound feasible to me. Evaporation and lift-off would work in principle, but since your substrate is huge (and therefore the evaporator) I would recommend to sputter Al ontop of the glass substrate, then you define the grid lithographically by means of a laser (fixed beam moving stage). And finally you develope the photoresist and etch the Al layer both in an alkaline developer.

Even then I don't know if the laser would have good enough resolution to meet these requirements. > > Anyone have better ideas? > > Thanks, > > John > > NOTICE > This transmittal and/or attachments ("Communication") is confidential to Bloo Solar, or may otherwise be privileged information.
