metal lift off problem

Hi,

It will be nice if you can measure the thickness of the resist stack.

Typically, this kind of problems will happen if your resist is relatively
thin compared to Metal thickness. If you are aiming for 100nm Al, you should
have a resist thickness around 300nm.  (which is quite easy if you use
PMMA950/EL9 comb).

Also you can try Al evaporation rather than sputtering. (but both works fine
for me).

I think it will work for you.

regards,

sangeeth
