ABSTRACT:
A sputter deposition system includes a hollow, cylindrical sputter target 14 disposed between an end sputter target 12 and a substrate 19, all of which are contained in a vacuum chamber 20. A plurality of magnets 24 are disposed outside the chamber 24 to create intense, plasma regions 48 near the interior surface of the cylindrical target 14 and thereby causing ionization of sputtered neutrals. Rf power is inductively coupled into the chamber 24 through rf coil 16 to sustain the plasma and substrate 19 is electrically biased to control ion directionality and energy.
