Abstract
Heavy ion-beam sputtering with low beam voltage was found to be applic able for the preparation of long-lived carbon stripper foils. A test f oil (25 mu g/cm(2)) made by this method survived an integrated ion cur rent of 6213 mC/cm(2) corresponding a lifetime of about 200 times the best commercially available foil made by evaporation-condensation. The present method can be expected to be applicable to magnetron sputteri ng for mass production of carbon stripper foils.
