Zusammenfassung:The present invention is to provide a sputtering apparatus and a sputtering method, specifically, a magnetron sputtering apparatus having a magnetron electrode capable of generating plasma in a wide region near the surface of a target, and a sputtering method using the apparatus. Thereby, a magnetic field shape enabling to generate plasma in a wide region near the surface of a target is realized, the use efficiency of the target material is increased, and dusts and abnormal electric discharges may be prevented. Magnetic circuit 10 of a magnetron electrode is set as "magnetic circuit 10 in which center perpendicular magnet 101, inside parallel magnet 103, outside parallel magnet 104, and perimeter perpendicular magnet 102 are arranged" from the central part of target 2 toward the perimeter part, and inside parallel magnet 103 is brought close to target 2.
