Hello!

Just 2 cents from me. Except deposition method consider other solvents.
Aceton may be not a good choice for lift-off, especially for resist after
plasma influence (during sputtering). It is better to choose other solvents
line NMP or DMSO. We have used DMSO with success for positive resist - it
attacks resist very aggressively.

Regards,
Ivan
