摘要
A rotating magnetron sputtering cathode apparatus comprising a radio frequency power supply, a power delivery assembly, a cylindrical rotating cathode, a shaft and a drive motor, wherein the power delivery assembly comprises a magnetic field source positioned within the cathode and an electrode extending within said cathode to transmit radio frequency energy to target material on the outer surface of the cathode. The electrode is electrically isolated from the shaft, and is formed from non-ferrous materials, and the shaft is mechanically connected to the cathode such that they remain electrically isolated while the cathode rotates about the magnetic field source and a portion of the electrode. The power supply is adapted to supply radio frequency energy at frequencies of 1 MHz or higher and is electrically connected to the electrode. A method of depositing material with a rotating cylindrical magnetron sputtering cathode apparatus comprising a radio frequency power supply and a cylindrical rotating cathode is also disclosed wherein the outer surface of the rotating cathode comprises a target material formed of an oxide. The method comprises the steps of causing the power supply to supply radio frequency energy at frequencies of 1 MHz or higher, causing the cathode to rotate, and positioning a substrate proximate to said outside surface of said cathode whereby the radio frequency energy causes the cathode to eject particles from the target material onto the substrate.
