ABSTRACT:
A magnetron source for producing a magnetic field near a surface of a target in a deposition system include a first magnet, a second magnet separated by a gap from the first magnet along a first direction, and a target holder configured to hold the target in the gap between the first magnet and the second magnet. The target includes a sputtering surface from which target material can be sputtered and deposited on a substrate. The target holder is so configured that the sputtering surface is substantially parallel to the first direction and the first magnet and the second magnet can produce a magnetic field near a surface of the target.
