Process flow: deposit Wanket SiN layer; define photoresist (PR) hole array by interferometric lithography; anistropically etch SiN in holes; isotropically etch SiN to generate an undercut defining the gap; deposit and lift off 1st Au layer to form central dots; spin a thick layer of PR and etch back to expose SiN; etch off SiN, leaving PR filler; deposit and lift off 2nd Au film to form outer mesh.
