<p>The present invention provides a magnet unit and a magnetron sputtering apparatus which can suppress the consumption amount of a target by efficiently consuming the target and can easily cause erosion on the target to progress uniformly regardless whether the target size is small or large and whether the target is made of magnetic material or not. A magnet unit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a member configured to be provided with a predetermined magnet, an internal magnet unit which is provided for the member and includes n magnet elements extending radially in the surface of the member from a predetermined position of the member in at least n (n: positive integer equal to or larger than 3) directions, the n magnet elements having one polarity on a side opposite to the member, and an external magnet unit which is provided for the member so as to surround the internal magnet unit along the shape of the internal magnet unit, the external magnet unit having the other polarity on a side opposite to the member.</p> |
