    摘要: A film forming apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a processing chamber; a substrate holder for holding a substrate within the processing chamber; a target electrode, disposed above the substrate holder, for holding a metal target and supplying electrical power from a power source to the target; an oxidizing gas introduction mechanism for supplying an oxidizing gas to the substrate; and a gas supply unit for supplying an inert gas to the space where the target is disposed. Constituent metal is discharged from the target in the form of sputter particles, whereby a metal film is deposited on the substrate, and the metal film is oxidized by the oxidizing gas introduced by the oxidizing gas introduction mechanism, thereby forming a metal oxide film. When the oxidizing gas is introduced, the gas supply unit supplies the inert gas to the space where the target is disposed so that the pressure therein is positive with respect to the pressure in a processing space.

    摘要: A sputtering method including: performing a pre-sputtering by emitting sputter particles from a target provided in a sputtering apparatus in a state where the target is shielded by a shielding portion of a shutter provided closed to the target to be capable of opening/closing the target; and, after the pre-sputtering, performing a main-sputtering by emitting the sputter particles from the target in a state where an opening of the shutter is aligned with the target thereby depositing the sputter particles on a substrate. When the pre-sputtering and the main-sputtering are repeatedly performed, a shutter position is changed during the pre-sputtering so as to change a position of the shielding portion aligned with the target.

    摘要: A film forming apparatus includes a stage provided in the processing chamber; three or more targets uniformly arranged along a circle centering around a vertical axis line that passes through a center of the stage, each of the targets having a substantially rectangular shape; a shutter provided between the targets and the stage, the shutter including an opening which allows one of the targets to be selectively exposed to the stage; and a rotation shaft coupled to the shutter, the rotation shaft extending along the vertical axis line. A width of the opening in a tangent direction to the circle centering around the vertical axis line is set such that two adjacent targets in a circumferential direction of the circle among the targets are allowed to be partially and simultaneously exposed to the stage.
