The inverse proximity effect, i.e., the induction of a magnetic moment in the superconductor, in superconductor-ferromagnet (S/F) junctions is studied theoretically. We present a microscopic approach which combines a model Hamiltonian with elements of the well-established quasiclassical theory. With its help we study systems with arbitrary degree of disorder, interface transparency, and thickness of the layers. In the diffusive limit we recover the result of previous works: the direction of the induced magnetization M is opposite to the one of the F layer. However, we show that in the ballistic case the sign of M may be positive or negative depending on the quality of the interface and thickness of the layers. We show that, regardless of its sign, the penetration length of the magnetic moment into the superconductor is of the order of the superconductor coherence length, which demonstrates that the effect has a superconducting origin.
