    Abstract: There is provided a film forming position misalignment correction method comprising: replacing a shielding member; loading a substrate into a film forming module by a transfer mechanism and forming a film on the substrate; detecting an amount of film forming position misalignment by transferring the substrate on which the film has been formed to a film thickness measuring device; correcting a transfer position of the substrate for the transfer mechanism; and checking the correction by transferring the substrate used for measuring the amount of film forming position misalignment to the film forming module by the transfer mechanism for which the transfer position has been corrected to form a film and determining the amount of film forming position misalignment by measuring a film thickness of the formed film by the film thickness measuring device in the same manner.

    Abstract: To provide technology that can increase the productivity of an apparatus when magnetron sputtering is carried out using a target formed from magnetic material. The present disclosure is an apparatus provided with: a cylindrical body that is a target formed from magnetic material, disposed above a substrate; a rotating mechanism that rotates this cylindrical body around the axis of the cylindrical body; a magnet array provided inside a hollow part of the cylindrical body; and a power supply that applies voltage to the cylindrical body. Furthermore, the magnet array has a cross sectional profile, orthogonal to the axis of the cylindrical body. Thus, even if a target with a comparatively large thickness is used, reductions in the intensity of the magnetic field that leaks from the target can be suppressed, and local progress in erosion can be suppressed.
