-<code>Aluminum is the way to go for the 3-omega heaters (it is the only material that we've had success with for thin film measurements). Ram and I tried nickel heaters on tetrahedrite w/ MnS insulating layer; the nickel reacted with the underlying film during dep, resulting in unusable heaters. In principle, Ni would be better than Al for 3-omega measurements as it has a significantly higher electrical resistivity and temperature coeffeicient of resistance. Ram and I made another attempt with Al heaters on tetra films before I left. The films were extremely rough post-anneal, resulting in broken heaters. </code> +<code>Aluminum is the way to go for the 3-omega heaters (it is the only material that we've had success with for thin film measurements).

   * Contact pads act as heat sinks! This causes a non-uniform temperature profile across the heater. A few papers have shown that this is not as big of a problem for AC signals above 10 Hz. However, using a heater design that moves the voltage leads away from the contact pads can help to get rid of this problem. Comsol modeling has shown that the voltage leads do not significantly alter the temperature profile of the heater.    * Contact pads act as heat sinks!
