Yоu micrоfаbricаted аn array оf 700-μm-long and 4-μm-wide metal resistors with a 100-nm-thick layer of aluminum that was deposited by evaporation.When you characterize the devices, you find that the resistance is significantly higher than expected. Identify 3 different reasons why this could have occurred and briefly describe strategies to avoid this problem in future fabrication runs.   (6 points)   Reason 1:                                                                                                                                   Avoidance Strategy 1:     Reason 2:   Avoidance Strategy:     Reason 3:   Avoidance Strategy 3:
