<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a Lesker PRO-Line Sputter tool and the guns have Torus MagKeepers. I have a student that would like to sputter Ti. I have a Ti target, but it doesn’t have a backing. All of my other targets have backings. It seems logical that if
 I want to use a target on a gun with a MagKeeper I would need a backing (pictured is my Al target with a backing).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked our Lesker sales rep and his response was to use the Ti target without the backing. I asked if the target will slide off of the gun. His response was no.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does this make sense? Does anyone have experience with sputtering Ti in a Lesker tool?<o:p></o:p></p>
