Abstract:
This sputtering cathode has a sputtering target having a tubular shape in which the cross-sectional shape thereof has a pair of long side sections facing each other, and an erosion surface facing inward. Using the sputtering target, while moving a body to be film-formed, which has a film formation region having a narrower width than the long side sections of the sputtering target, parallel to one end face of the sputtering target and at a constant speed in a direction perpendicular to the long side sections above a space surrounded by the sputtering target, discharge is performed such that a plasma circulating along the inner surface of the sputtering target is generated, and the inner surface of the long side sections of the sputtering target is sputtered by ions in the plasma generated by a sputtering gas to perform film formation in the film formation region of the body to be film-formed.

Claim (Index 13):
The sputtering device according to  claim 11 , wherein the pair of major side walls are made from different materials relative to each other to provide different species of sputtering atoms, the sputtering device further comprising a moveable shield that is positioned near one of the open ends of the sputtering target exterior to the sputtering target, the moveable shield being arranged to move transverse to the lengthwise direction of the sputtering target and being configured to selectively permit the different species of sputtering atoms to be ejected from the sputtering target.
