ABSTRACT:
A collimator having a particle getter function, and a thin-film forming apparatus equipped with the collimator disposed between a target and a wafer. The collimator is fabricated by assembling particle getter sheets into a lattice, honeycomb, or other structure having a number of rows of openings and fixing the assembly into a frame. The particle getter sheets refers collectively to sheets and plates to be assembled integrally to provide a surface having excellent particle capturing and holding actions. Typically, the collimator is a lattice assembly of embossed, slitted particle getter sheets. The film deposited on the collimator is kept from peeling off, without deteriorating the collimator performance.
