Annealing of Gold Films

[LCascao at genencor.com]

Hello All,

I'm interested in annealing gold thin-films (100 nm - 300 nm) either 
sputtered or evaporated onto silicon wafers or borofloat glass to form 
(111) terraces for self-assembly of lipids.  Does anyone have an annealing 
recipe that works?  Also, should I avoid using an adhesion layer between 
the gold and the silicon substrate?

Thanks 

Luis Cascao
