An aspect of the present invention is a method of forming a contact in a thin-film
device. The method includes forming a liftoff stencil, depositing at least one
material through the liftoff stencil, removing a portion of the liftoff stencil,
forming a re-entrant profile with the remaining portion of the liftoff stencil
and depositing a conductor material in contact with the at least one material on
the re-entrant profile.
