Abstract

PURPOSE:To sputter only the pure particles of a target and to form a good- quality stable film by bringing a shielding member into contact with the whole upper peripheral surface of the target to be sputtered joined to a backing plate fixed to a cathode body. CONSTITUTION:The target 1 to be sputtered is fixed on the backing plate 3 with a bonding material, and the plate 3 is fixed to a support 7 with a screw 8 through an O-ring 6. The shielding member 2 for confining the sputtering region is brought into contact with the whole upper peripheral surface of the target 1. As a result, the gap between the target 1 and the member 2 is eliminated, hence the sputtered particles are not deposited on the upper surface of the plate 3 or the reaction product is not formed, and sputtering is carried out only through the opening 10 of the member 2. Accordingly, a good-quality film free of deposited impurities is stably obtained at all times.
