A target for physical-vapor deposition (PVD) and methods for depositing magnetic materials are described Radio frequency (RF) or direct current (DC) power is introduced into the chamber through the target to produce plasma. The planar magnetron system is chosen for its high deposition rates. Since the permanent magnets are behind the target in the traditional system, a magnetic target interferes with the required magnetic fields on the target. To eliminate this problem permanent magnets are arranged on the surface and a magnetic target is used as a part of the magnetic circuit. Strong magnetic fields on the target can now be maintained for high deposition rates. The permanent magnets may be covered by a relatively thin, suitable protective-film or by a film of the same material as the target.
