Image reversal resist photolithography of silicon-based platinum and silver microelectrode pattern
Silicon-based platinum (Pt) and silver (Ag) microelectrodes are constructed using photolithography technique and used in detecting arsenic activity in different electrolytes. Pt and Ag have good properties either as a working, a counter, or a reference electrode due to their low electrical resistanc...

Silicon-based platinum (Pt) and silver (Ag) microelectrodes are constructed using photolithography technique and used in detecting arsenic activity in different electrolytes. Pt and Ag have good properties either as a working, a counter, or a reference electrode due to their low electrical resistance, high melting point, and high chemical stability. This chemical sensor has the ability to detect the changes in the level or activity of arsenic in electrolytes. Patterning these metals by wet chemical or dry etching is not a feasible process as these metals cannot be etched properly. The lift-off process can be applied to ease the etching process, but it has a major problem whereby the metal particles or ears may remain at the edges at the end of the process.
