Etch mask for glass etching

i didn't try the evaporation method before but the best result will be using
another masking layer with a optimizing condition... 4 times better than using
the cr/au ...

I do not understand the exactly meaning of "collapse and give way to". If
you mean the Cr/Au film swinging in etchant just like tissues in water (but
no separate from glass), I can tell you the same thing happened in the DC
sputtering film (Cr/Au:400A/1500A). The serious problem of sputtering film
is pinhole in the HF etching process, although additional PR layer will
help.
May I ask the pinholes also happened by using resistive evaporation method?

Hi All,

When people use Cr/Au as the etch mask for wet etching of glass, what kind
of
deposition method did they use? I used resistive evaporation method and
found
the metal film collapsed and gave way to the etchant in a very short time. I

suspect the film adhesion is not that good. Maybe sputtering will do a
better
job? Anybody had experience with this situation? Any thoughtful input would
be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Fan
