   The kinetic simulation of relativistic laser pulse with overdense plasma target interaction using relati-vistic parallel code SUR/MP has been made. The magnetic field filament structure generation inside target has been studied. The filaments generation features as function of plasma density was investigated. The phenomena of surface corrugation and ion density channel formation according to filament instability on the late stages was noted.
