A gold layer ( 20 ) is patterned with a gold oxide mask ( 30 ), which mask is patterned with an acid, preferably with microcontactprinting. The gold oxide mask ( 30 ) is stable in alkalic etch solutions for the gold layer ( 20 ). The gold oxide mask ( 30 ) may be maintained to create a reexposable gold pad ( 20 ). |
