Leo,

I have tried several different combinations, but the masking was
successful using the following conditions:

Masklayer: chromium/gold (10/500nm). 2,1 micrometer positive
photoresist was left for the etching (I am not too sure about the
thickness.)

HF: 50% - not diluted.

No agitation was used (earlier I have used ultrasonication, but this
seems to worsen the masking ability of the gold).

The result was the bad etching I described earlier.

regards,

Sven
