The adhesion of Au on Si is not very good, and an adhesionlayer is often deposited on the wafer, before the Au layer evaporated. A good metal to use as adhesionlayer is Ti, but Cr is also often used.  
The adhesion of Au on Si is not very good, and an adhesion layer is often deposited on the wafer, before the Au layer evaporated. A good metal to use as adhesionlayer is Ti, but Cr is also often used.  
The most commonly used thickness of the Ti adhesionlayer is 10 nm. Also thinner layers, for example 5 nm, can be used.
