An apparatus and method for sputtering ionized material onto a substrate with the aid of an inductively coupled plasma which ionizes the material, which apparatus includes: a support member having a support surface for supporting a substrate; a target constituting a source of sputtering material; a coil for generating a plasma which is inductively coupled to the coil and which ionizes material sputtered from the target; and components for piacing the support member at a potential which causes ionized material to be attracted to the support member. Magnets are provided to generate a magnetic field which is defined by magnetic field lines that lie in planes substantially perpendicular to the support surface and which have a constant polarity around the support surface.
