The present invention aims at improving and upgrading the conventional devices based on the low temperature magnetron sputtering coating devices. Starting from the material systems, the invention provides a new material system and a manufacturing method thereof based on a high molecular weight polyethylene joint cup to solve the poor binding force problem between the film and the matrix, and the problems of easy oxidization and carbonization of high molecular weight polyethylene with low temperature magnetron sputtering technologies at the same time. On the above basis, the ultra-lubrication performance of graphite-like structure films and ultra-hardness of diamond-like structure films are utilized to construct a nano-scale multilayer structure DLC film alternatively coated with a graphite-like film and a diamond-like film. The present invention improves the wear resistance of high molecular weight polyethylene joint cups, and restricts low accuracy of joints due to creeping by constructing a new artificial hip joint cup of ultra-wear-resisting nano-scale multilayer structure DLC film with high hardness and self-lubricating capability.

Embodiments relate generally to semiconductor device fabrication and processes, and more particularly, to an apparatus and arrangements of magnetic field generators configured to generate rotating magnetic fields to facilitate physical vapor deposition (“PVD”). In one embodiment, a magnetic field generator apparatus can include a rotatable magnetic field and a counterbalance magnetic field generator that rotates about the axis of rotation in opposition to the rotatable magnetic field generator. The rotatable magnetic field generator generates a first magnitude of a magnetic field adjacent to a first circumferential portion of a circular region. The counterbalance magnetic field generator generates a second magnitude of the magnetic field adjacent to a second circumferential portion. The rotatable and counterbalance magnetic field generators can be configured to generate the magnetic field between the first and a second plane along a diameter extending from the first circumferential portion to the second circumferential portion.

Provided is a film deposition device including a DMS target and a film-deposition power source, being capable of pre-sputtering the target by use of the film-deposition power source. The film deposition device includes: a film deposition chamber (10); first and second cathodes (20A, 20B) each having a target (24) and disposed next to each other in such an attitude that target surfaces (24a) faces a substrate in the film deposition chamber (10); a magnetic-field formation unit (30) forming a magnetic field in the vicinity of the surfaces (24a) of both targets (24); a film-deposition power source (40) connected to both of the cathodes (20A, 20B); and a shutter (50). The shutter (50) makes an opening-closing action between a close portion at which the shutter (50) is interposed between the substrate and the target surfaces (24a) of both cathodes to block the target surfaces (24a) collectively from the substrate and an open position to allow film deposition on the substrate through opening the space between the target surfaces (24a) and the substrate.

An oxide that can be used for a semiconductor in a transistor or the like is formed. After a sputtering gas is supplied to a deposition chamber, a plasma including ions of the sputtering gas in the vicinity of a target. The ion of the sputtering gas is accelerated and collides with a target, so that flat-plate particles and atoms included in the target are separated from the target. Surfaces of the plurality of flat-plate particles are negatively charged in plasma. One of the flat-plate particles negatively charged is deposited with a surface facing a substrate. Another flat-plate particle is deposited in a region apart from the one flat-plate particle over the substrate while repelling the one flat-plate particle. An atom and an aggregate of atoms are inserted in a gap between the one flat-plate particle and the another flat-plate particle and grow in the lateral direction in the gap between the flat-plate particles, so that the gap between the one flat-plate particle and the another flat-plate particle is filled.
