Abstract

See full text

A PVD chamber for growing a magnetic film of NiFe alloy at a growth rate of greater than 200 nm/minute produces a film exhibiting magnetic skew of less than plus or minus 2 degrees, magnetic dispersion of less than plus or minus 2 degrees, DR/R of greater than 2 percent and film stress of less than 50 MPa. NiFe alloy is sputtered at a distance of 2 to 4 inches, DC power of 50 Watts to 9 kiloWats and pressure of 3 to 8 milliTorr. The chamber uses a unique field shaping magnetron having magnets arranged in outer and inner rings extending about a periphery of the magnetron except in two radially opposed regions in which the inner and outer rings diverge substantially toward a central axis of the magnetron.
