Abstract:
A low pressure functional material production apparatus comprising:an aerosol generation section which generates an aerosol containing fine particles by irradiating a laser beam on a first target material in a low pressure background gas; an introduction section which introduces the aerosol generated in the aerosol generation section to a fine particle classification section; the fine particle classification section comprising an apparatus capable of classifying the fine particles based on electrical mobility, which classifies the fine particles, in a sheath gas, from the aerosol, in a low pressure background gas; and a deposition section which receives fine particles classified in the fine particle classification section and receives species generated by irradiating a laser beam on a second target material, and deposits the classified fine particles and the species on the substrate, in a low pressure background gas.
