    Abstract: A film forming apparatus includes a processing container, a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate inside the processing container, a cathode unit disposed above the substrate holder, and a gas introducing mechanism configured to introduce a plasma generating gas into the processing container. The cathode unit includes a target, a power supply configured to supply electric power to the target, a magnet provided on a rear side of the target, and a magnet driving part configured to drive the magnet. The magnet driving part includes an oscillation driver configured to oscillate the magnet along the target, and a perpendicular driver configured to drive the magnet in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the target independently of driving performed by the oscillation driver. Sputtered particles are deposited on the substrate by magnetron sputtering.
