Abstract

See full text

The present invention aims at providing a sputtering system capable of efficiently generating high-density plasma near the surface of a sputter target and forming a film at a high rate. It also aims at providing a large-area sputtering system and a plasma processing system having a simple structure and allowing the sputter target to be easily attached/detached, maintained, or operated otherwise. The present invention provides a sputtering system in which an inductively-coupled antenna conductor plate is attached to a portion of a vacuum chamber, wherein: a sputter target plate is attached to the inductively-coupled antenna conductor on its plasma formation space side; one end of the antenna conductor is connected to a radio-frequency power source; and the other end is grounded through a capacitor. A plurality of antenna conductors may be provided to form a large-area sputtering system.
