Abstract
A metallic etching process includes applying an anti-reflection coating over a metallic superstrate, applying a dry film photoresist over the anti-reflection coating, removing exposed portions of the dry film photoresist exposing a portion of the anti-reflection coating, etching the exposed portions of the anti-reflection coating exposing portions of the metal superstrate, etching portions of the metallic superstrate not covered by the dry film photoresist, and removing the dry film photoresist and the anti-reflection coating leaving portions of the metallic superstrate. An indium bump liftoff process includes applying a positive photoresist, forming a liftoff mask by applying a dry film photoresist over the positive photoresist, removing exposed portions of the liftoff mask to expose a portion of a substrate, depositing an indium film over the exposed portion of the substrate and remaining portions of the liftoff mask, and removing remaining portions of the liftoff mask.
