Li Tongshi, ni hao, sorry, my Chinese is not he best. I have used gold on 30 nm chromium as a metallization and found the following values Thickness 100 nm: I/A <= 40 ... 70 kA/mm^2 200 nm: I/A <= 30 ... 50 kA/mm^2 500 nm: I/A <= 14 ... 40 kA/mm^2 1000 nm: I/A <= 6 ... 20 kA/mm^2 Above these levels, increased interdiffusion will set in with considerable increase in resistance and consecutive failure. Yours sincerely, Kai Hiltmann Kai Hiltmann, HSG-IMIT, Wilhelm-Schickard-Str. 10, D-78052 Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany Ext. ++49-7721-943-132, Fax ++49-7721-943-140 PS: As you may have noted, I have picked your second mail address! Hi, everyone: Now we are developing gas sensor and we want to use Ti and Pt as the heater, but we don't know the maximum current densities for them. If you know them, you are expected to tell us. Any help will be appreciated. You can contact me by the E-mail: ligang@ime.pku.edu.cn hope@chinaren.com Thanks again. Sincerely, Li Gang
