Abstract

A target shield having a concave, curved surface away from a target in a physical vapor deposition chamber spaced so that the number of magnetic field lines that intersect said shield are reduced, results in improved vertical directionality of the sputtered material. High aspect ratio openings in a substrate can be filled at low pressures, e.g., 3 millitorr and lower, using this shield.
