Abstract	Micro Strip Gas Counters with robust gold strips have been developed at IMEC, the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center at Leuven, in Belgium. The electroless plating technology was used, allowing to achieve a strip thickness of up to 1.6 mu m on 10 X 10 cm**2 substrates. Results on signal to noise ratio, spark rate, resulting damages and detector occupancy are presented for counters exposed to various intensities of heavily ionizing particles.
