    摘要: A cylindrical cathode target assembly for use in sputtering target material onto a substrate comprises a generally cylindrical target, means for rotating the target about its axis during a sputtering operation, a magnetic array carried within the target for generation of a plasma-containing field including a plurality of electron drift paths adjacent an outer surface of the target, and a device for supporting the magnetic array independently of rotation of the target. In certain embodiments of the invention, the magnetic array may include a plurality of magnetic elements arranged to form a plurality of electron drift paths spaced along a substantial length of the target to promote generally uniform film deposition and uniform target utilization along its length.

    摘要: The apparatus and method involve using a gas manifold for introducing gas into a deposition chamber. Certain embodiments involve using a binary manifold for uniform distribution of the gas with good response time. During sputtering operations, provision of an anode using the gas manifold enables such anode to be entirely protected from sputtered dielectric material during the deposition process. As such, conduction paths are initially established and maintained between electrons within the chamber and the anode. This results in improved maintenance of stable plasma and consistent coating in the deposition chamber. The conduction paths are enhanced in comparison to conventional systems due to increased collisions between the electrons and gas flowing out of the manifold outlets. Also, ionization of the gas flowing from the manifold outlets is enhanced, resulting in enhanced deposition output from the system. A magnet can also be located within the manifold so as to further increase collisions between the electrons and gas flowing out of the manifold outputs.
