A method and an apparatus for forming a layer on a substrate are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, a substrate (901) is placed into a chamber (30) that includes a coil (16) and a shield (14) wherein the coil and the shield are electrically isolated by an isolation/support member (32) having a first surface (321) that is substantially contiguous with a surface of the coil and having a second surface (322) that is substantially contiguous with a surface of the shield. A layer (1002, 1102) is then deposited onto the substrate (901).
