17. A sputtering method utilizing a sputtering apparatus, comprising:
- a chamber, a plate disposed in the chamber with a substrate placed on the plate, a target facing the plate, a power supply unit coupled to the target, and a filter disposed between the substrate and the target, the sputtering method comprising;
disposing a target and a substrate inside the chamber in a manner that a distance between the target and the substrate is larger than a mean free path of a sputtered particle; maintaining inner pressure of the chamber in a range of 0.01 Pa to 1 Pa by injecting discharge gas after a vacuum state is achieved inside the chamber; and applying a voltage pulse to the target. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
