Abstract
Carbon foils are the most commonly used targets and backings in nearly all experiments in nuclear physics and related subjects performed at ion accelerators. Due to their high tensile strength carbon foils can be prepared even with a thickness below 1 μg/cm 2 therefore they are exclusivly used as backings whenever a low- Z element is tolerable. There are several methods available to prepare carbon foils with different properties. A review is presented about these methods and about the application of special techniques in order to achieve specific foil properties. The characterization and exact thickness determination of carbon foils are described in detail.
