Abstract

A sputtering system is suitable for sputtering a surface to be sputtered having sections. Each section has a projection height. The sputtering system includes a supporting plate, a sputtering array, and a controller. The sputtering array is arranged on the supporting plate. The sputtering array includes sputtering units. Each section corresponds to at least one of the sputtering units. Each sputtering unit has a driving shaft and a target. The target faces the surface to be sputtered. The controller is electrically connected the driving shaft. The driving shaft drives the target to move relative to the surface to be sputtered. The controller controls a distance between each sputtering unit and the corresponding section of the sections in the direction of the projection height to satisfy a given condition.
