Abstract

A negative resist and masking process for microfabrication comprising an evaporated film of aluminum and oxygen which, in the as-deposited state, is highly conductive and has low resistance to etching, but when exposed to active radiation, such as by pulse laser thermal excitation, converts to a low electrical conductivity, high etchant resistive phase.
