ABSTRACT:
Sputtering apparatus and method which are particularly suitable for forming step coatings. A workpiece is supported in a chamber, particles are emitted from a sputter source in a substantially uniform manner throughout an area of greater lateral extent than the workpiece, the pressure within the chamber is maintained at a level which is sufficiently low to prevent substantial scattering of the particles between the source and the workpiece, and the particles are passed through a collimating filter having a plurality of transmissive cells with a length to diameter ratio on the order of 1:1 to 3:1 positioned between the source and the workpiece to limit the angles at which the particles can impinge upon the workpiece.
