PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operating efficiency and life of a target without changing an effective film-forming region and an apparatus size. SOLUTION: A magnet structural body 10 is swingably provided on the back side of a backing plate for arranging the target on the surface thereof to form a cathode electrode. The magnet structural body 10 includes a rod-like central magnet 2 having a fixed width W1, a generally elliptical surrounding magnet 3 having a fixed width W2 arranged so as to surround the central magnet 2, and a shunt 4 for locally weakening the magnetic field produced on a target surface by the magnets. The shunt 4 is embedded in a region FE0 which would be occupied by the central magnet 2 if the central magnet is supposed to be extended in the length direction thereof to the surrounding magnet 3.
