Publication number: 20190078196Abstract: In a film-forming method: a to-be-processed substrate and a target are disposed inside a vacuum chamber; a sputtering gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber; and electric power is charged to the target to sputter the target, thereby forming a film on the surface of the to-be-processed-substrate. A leakage magnetic field is caused to locally act on a lower side of a sputtering surface by means of a magnet unit disposed above the target in case that surface of the target which is sputtered is defined as the sputtering surface and the sputtering-surface side is defined as the lower side. The magnet unit is rotated, during film formation by sputtering, such that a region of action of the leakage magnetic field on the sputtering surface varies continuously. A step is included in which a direction of rotation of the magnet unit in a forward direction and a reverse direction is alternately switched.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: ULVAC, INC.Inventors: Shinya Nakamura, Mitsunori Henmi, Yoshinori Fujii
