Washing-away problem in non-conductive substrate EBL

Dear colleagues,
I am doing EBL on non-conductive substrate. I deposited 5-12 nm silver film
on the PMMA 495 C5. I believe the EBL was performed pretty well because I
can clearly see the latent image of the exposed patterns before and after
the silver etching. But the problem happened at the step of development: the
developer (MIBK 1:3 IPA) washed away all PMMA no matter it is exposed or
not! Did you see this phenomenon before and do you have any suggestion?
Thanks,
Hongjun
