The aluminum sample was a 205 nm film with traces of Ti and Si deposited on a Si substrate. PMMAwas a 1- to 2- μm-thick film prepared by dissolving 10% by weight of PMMA in an organic solvent (anisole) and spin coating at 2000 rpm on a glass substrate. PDMS was prepared from a mixture of a translucent base in a curing agent (10:1 ratio) which was then vacuum dried and cured for 48 h al room temperature.
