Abstract: The present invention relates to a sputtering method using a sputtering device, wherein entire scan region is defined from one side to the other side of a sputtering target, and the sputtering target is scanned with a magnet moving back and forth along the entire scan region multiple times. The entire scan region of a sputtering target is divided by N parts to be uniformly eroded, such that a magnet moves back and forth along some part of the divided entire scan region. A sputtering method using a sputtering device can therefore extend an alternating cycle of a sputtering target, by virtue of improving utilization efficiency of the sputtering target through uniform erosion of the sputtering target, and can also reduce manufacturing cost.
