Abstract

High-rate sputtering is achieved by means of new electron cyclotron resonance microwave plasma employing sputtering using an electric mirror. This apparatus consists of both planar and cylindrical targets. Microwave power is perpendicularly or obliquely introduced into the resonance chamber. High-density plasma of 1012 cm−3 is generated. The reflected electrons oscillating between the two targets play a major role in generating the dense plasma, i.e., as a beam-plasma interaction. Both insulator and conductor films can be continuously deposited by this sputtering method at high rates under low gas pressures of 10−2 Pa. Al, Mo, and Fe films are deposited at rates above 2000 Å/min.
