ABSTRACT:
Method for sputtering from a dielectric target (9) in a vacuum chamber (2) with a high frequency gas discharge, the target (9) being mounted on a cooled metallic back plate (10) and this back plate forming an electrode (10) supplied with high frequency, includes a target thickness (Td) profiled (15) differently over the surface such that in the regions of a desired decrease of the sputtering rate the target thickness (Td) is selected to be greater than in the remaining regions.
