You may be able to electroplate gold onto Pyrex.  Transene offers the
RTM Process (Room Temperature Metallization) for depositing nickel onto
dielectric materials.  You could then deposit either electroless or
electrolytic gold on the nickel film.  Transene's plating solutions may
be viewed at www.transene.com, but feel free to contact me to discuss.

Subject: [mems-talk] Is there any way I can deposit gold onto pyrex
wafer directly?

I'm a student of Texas A&M University.
As far as I know, gold doesn't attach to pyrex glass
directly. But I think if I use sputtering machine then
it might be possible.
Anybody tried to attach gold directly onto pyrex
wafer?
One more question. Is there platinum sputtering source
exist?
If so, how much is it? Please answer me the question.
I appreciate your any reply.
Thanks,

sokwon Paik
