Claim Text:
1. A method for forming a thin film on a substrate rotated in a vacuum chamber, the method comprising: forming an oxidizable film on the substrate by releasing grains towards the rotated substrate; forming an oxide film on the substrate by emitting oxygen plasma towards the oxidizable film on the rotated substrate; and forming a liquid repellent film on the oxide film by supplying a silane coupling agent, which contains a hydrolytic polycondensation group and a liquid repellent group, and water towards the oxide film; wherein said forming a liquid repellent film includes: supplying the water to the oxide film before supplying the silane coupling agent to the oxide film; and continuously supplying the water to the oxide film while vapor-depositing the silane coupling agent on the oxide film.
