  • Spin on resist
  • Bake Resist
  • Lithography of Contact Shape
  • Develop the resist out
  • “Ashing” resist residue
  • p-contact metallisation (top)
  • n-contact metallisation (bottom)
  • Liftoff resist
  • Anneal contacts
  • Spin Resist
  • Bake Resist
  • Lithography of Mesa
  • Develop non-mesa resist
  • Wet Etch down to n-side
  • Strip Resist
