Abstract

The present disclosure provides a magnetic thin film deposition chamber and a thin film deposition apparatus. The magnetic thin film deposition chamber includes a main chamber and a bias magnetic field device. A base pedestal is disposed in the main chamber for carrying a to-be-processed workpiece. The bias magnetic field device is configured for forming a horizontal magnetic field above the base pedestal, and the horizontal magnetic field is used to provide an in-plane anisotropy to a magnetized film layer deposited on the to-be-processed workpiece. The thin film deposition chamber provided in present disclosure is capable of forming a horizontal magnetic field above the base pedestal that is sufficient to induce an in-plane anisotropy to the magnetic thin film.
