<p>If you <b>e-beam</b> evaporate Au, you will get soft X-rays
which can expose most any resist. Thermal evaporation should be
safer - you'll only have to worry about thermal degradation in
that case.</p>

<pre wrap="">Dear people,
I always have the idea that sputting/evaporating a thin Au layer on my sample is exposing the e-beam resist on my sample.. Do you also experience that?
