摘要
A magnetron sputtering device wherein a plurality of magnetic field sources are employed to enhance uniformity of cathode sputtering. Each of the magnetic field sources is independently capable of establishing a discharge at the cathode if the other magnetic field sources are removed so that portions of a V-shaped erosion pattern produced by a primary discharge are also eroded to thus effect the more uniform cathode sputtering.PPIn one embodiment of the invention, a magnetic field dome of a first polarity is disposed over a second magnetic field dome of the opposite polarity, the domes being disposed over the cathode so that a closed plasma loop is established, the loop including a first sputtering path which extends over the cathode and a second non-sputtering return path which is disposed over the sputtering path and between the first and second magnetic field domes. P PThe above technique for trapping plasma between the first and second magnetic field domes is unique and has applications to areas other than sputtering.
