You don't need (or want) a hard vacuum, you want a very low pressure
argon atmosphere. I don't remember the exact procedure, since it was
20 years ago, but I sputter coated specimens for scanning electron
microscopy back in the day. Electrons aren't heavy enough to
displace metal atoms from the target, you need the argon to make the
plasma so the metal atoms will migrate.
