The control of planar magnetron sputtering system operating modes by additional anode magnetic field was investigated. It was shown that additional anode magnetic field substantially affects to planar magnetron-sputtering system (MSS) balancing and allows adjusting the electron fluxes intensity to the operating surface. It was experimentally shown that the magnetic field intensity increasing stabilizes the low-current discharge. The magnetic field intensity increasing prevents the discharge extinction by the ignition of semi-self-maintained magnetron-type discharge in transverse anode magnetic field.
