Hi, I would like to sputter some rather expensive materials, and know that I would never use even a 1/16" sputter target. Has anyone ever sputtered from a foil? I know that some older sputtering systems used foils for things like platinum and palladium, but I've never seen one in action. I was thinking about ordering a thin foil of the material and clamping it around a dummy target. Would this work, or would I need to indium-bond the foil to the dummy target? Thanks for any suggestions, Alex _______________________________________________ Hosted by the MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange, the country's leading provider of MEMS and Nanotechnology design and fabrication services.
