Dear Colleague, Au/Cr pattern is formed on top of SiO2 (1um thick) by liftoff process. But I have to etch SiO2 to get the same pattern as Au. I know Au is not a good mask for RIE, so I want to put Ni on top of Au so that a Ni/Au/Cr stack will be the RIE mask. Q: Can Au and Ni be put together? I know Al and Au can not be put together. Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Yahong _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
