Method of forming deposited film

摘要

Sputtering particles emitted from a target are ionized by the Penning ionization process. And the sputtering particles ionized are caused to fly in the direction of the substrate by a magnetic field formed by ambipolar diffusion due to a magnetic field generating means without scattering the particles to deposit the particles on the substrate. The partial pressure of a sputtering discharge gas in a discharge space is set to 1.3 Pa or less and a distance from the target to an ionization space is within twice the mean free path of the partial pressure of the sputtering discharge gas.
