IBE Au etch with Ti mask

Work has been started to find a good process for etching gold with a Titanium mask with high selectivity.
Ti etch test with Zep520A as mask - To etch the Ti mask | Au etch test with high selectivity to Ti | |
---|---|---|
General description | This recipe has a good selectivity between ZEP520A resist and Ti, which makes it good for patterning the Ti that should be used as masking layer for the Au etch. It can also be used to etch Au if the selectivity to the mask is good enough. | This recipe has especially good selectivity between Ti and Au which makes it good for gold etching using a thin Ti mask as masking layer. The selectivity to resist is very bad so do not use it with a resist mask. |
