Abstract:
1. A manufacturing apparatus growing a multi-layered film as a magneto-resistance element over a substrate, comprising: a transfer chamber including a substrate transfer mechanism; a first sputtering deposition chamber including one sputtering cathode; a second sputtering deposition chamber including one sputtering cathode; a third sputtering deposition chamber including one sputtering cathode; a fourth sputtering deposition chamber including two or more sputtering cathodes; a fifth sputtering deposition chamber including two or more sputtering cathodes; and a process chamber for performing a process other than sputtering, wherein the first sputtering deposition chamber, the second sputtering deposition chamber, the third sputtering deposition chamber, the fourth sputtering deposition chamber, the fifth sputtering deposition chamber, and the process chamber are arranged around the transfer chamber so that each is able to perform delivery and receipt of the substrate with the transfer chamber, wherein the first sputtering deposition chamber deposits at least one layer of an oxide film, a nitride film, and a semiconductor film included in the multi-layered film, and wherein each of the sputtering cathodes in the first sputtering deposition chamber, the second sputtering deposition chamber, and the third sputtering deposition chamber is larger than each of the sputtering cathodes in the fourth sputtering deposition chamber and the fifth sputtering deposition chamber.
