PURPOSE:To make the erosion of a target uniform, by providing a means of changing a leakage magnetic field to a sputtering apparatus having the target on inside and outside magnetic poles having opposite polarities so as to form a prescribed magnetic filed distribution. CONSTITUTION:An inside magnetic pole 2 is enclosed with an outside magnetic pole 3 whose polarity is opposite to that of the pole 2 and a target 1 is placed on the poles 2, 3. A magnet 5 is set in a magnetic field formed on the rear side of the target 1 between the poles 2, 3. A leakage magnetic field from the poles 2, 3 is changed by the magnet 5 so as to reduce the gradient of a component of the magnetic field perpendicular to the target 1 at the central part between the poles 2, 3 on the outside of the target 1 and to increase the gradient at parts close to the poles 2, 3.
