Au peeling away from Cr adhesion layer

We use just the same process in our lab.
Did you sputter Au right after Cr? How 's the surface condition of the Au layer?
Then which potoresist do you use?
In our lab we spin AZ5214E on to the substrate with Cr and Au sputtered, and
use AZ300MIF to develop it. Finally we use gold etchant (KI:I2:H2O=4:1:80)
to etch. We seldom came across with failure in this process.
