Isn't conformality bad for lift-off? We've seen problems with stringers
when we deposit metal on the sidewalls of the resist.

Dear James Paul Grant,
For any good liftoff the ratio of PR to the metal should be 2.5:1
And physical evaporating equipment like sputter should be considered for =
depositing as it forms conformal layers.
With E beam evaporators planar layers will be formed and its hard to =
make a liftoff with such a small ratio 1.3 : 1
