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 23):
A method for producing a film-formed body, comprising:\n providing a sputtering device constructed in accordance with  claim 11 ; introducing a sputtering gas into the interior region of the sputtering target; applying a voltage between the anode and the sputtering cathode sufficient to generate a plasma of the sputtering gas, which plasma causes atoms of the sputtering erosion surfaces to be emitted from one of the open ends of the sputtering target; and moving a first substrate to be coated with the emitted atoms past the open end of the sputtering target so that a film of emitted atoms is formed on the first substrate, the first substrate being moved traverse to the lengthwise direction of the sputtering target and the first substrate not being exposed to light and not being exposed to electron beam radiation attributable to the plasma.
