A high‐rate sputtering apparatus designed for ion‐based film formation was made on an experimental basis. A dense plasma of the order of 1012 cm−3 was generated between the target and the substrate of a dc diode sputtering apparatus by means of an L‐coupled high‐frequency discharge. When a Cu target was used, the Cu+ ion current in the mass spectrum of the extracted ion beam increased with the Ar gas pressure, and had a maximum value about ten times that of an Ar+ ion current, at a pressure of ∼1×10−1 Torr (1.3×101 Pa). The plasma potential varied continuously from +20 to +200 V when the bias resistance for the high‐frequency coil was changed from 10 kΩ to 0. The energy of the ions impinging on the substrate was changed greatly by the change in the plasma potential. The fine structure of the film formed was markedly influenced by the discharge gas pressure and/or the plasma potential. Even ferromagnetic material could be sputtered at a high rate.
