The invention relates to a composite magnetic control sputtering cathode, which consists of a plane target (1), a water cooling backboard (2), outer permanent magnets (3 and 4), inner permanent magnets (5 and 6), outer electromagnetic coils (7 and 8), inner electromagnetic coils (9 and 10), outer field yokes (11 and 12), inner field yokes (13 and 14), a bottom field yoke (15) and a framework (16). Polarity of each outer permanent magnet (3 and 4) is identical to each other, the polarity of each inner permanent magnet (5 and 6) is identical to each other, and the polarity of each outer permanent magnet is opposite to that of each inner permanent magnet. The two outer electromagnetic coils (7 and 8) form a closed coil, the two inner electromagnetic coils (9 and 10) form a closed coil, and the outer electromagnetic coils and the inner electromagnetic coils are respectively connected to a power supply through a lead wire. By adjusting the electrification current and the electrification current direction of the outer and the inner electromagnetic coils, the variation of the magnetic field strength and the magnetic field distribution shape of the magnetic control sputtering cathode can be realized, so the sputtering speed, the magnetic field balance and the target utilization rate can be adjusted.
