Abstract

A magnetron type sputter apparatus utilizing an orthogonal electromagnetic field, with the apparatus being adapted for forming an electrode wiring of a semiconductor device. The apparatus includes a target having a shape adapted to prevent a bumping of a target material from an end part of the target so that a temperature rise and damage of the semiconductor device attributed to electron bombardment can be prevented and the lifetime of the target can be prolonged.
