I want to deposit gold to form arrays on top of my ITO glass substrate that is spin coated with three layers, namely;TiO2, Perovskite and Spiro-OMeTAD layers. The problem, I don't have have deposition mask to control the pattern of gold to be deposited. can I use aluminum foil to make deposition mask with a special designed pattern for deposition. Is it won't melt during the deposition process in the sputter coater or contaiminate my samples.
If the foil is not inside the plasma zone, what you described can work without melting the foil mask.
However, do you have the capacity to process steel sheets? That would certainly be safer with respect to melting issues.
Aluminum foil, which covers the sample, should be fine. The hot (relatively) zone is localized much higher (5+ cm in typical lab coaters), you can safely use even some non-metal stuff if can cut it more accurately than foil.
Good luck!
