Abstract:
A method of forming a thin film on a substrate comprising:arranging an inductive coupling electrode in a film forming chamber, the inductive coupling electrode having a power feeding portion at a first end and a grounding portion at a second end; and feeding a high-frequency power to said feeding portion to generate plasma to form the thin film on a thin film forming area where at least one substrate is placed facing said electrode, wherein said electrode has an electrode length which is longer than a length of the thin film forming area in a direction along the electrode, and said electrode is arranged in plurality with an interval so as to cover the thin film forming area, and said high-frequency power is amplitude-modulated and fed simultaneously to the feeding portions of said plurality of electrodes.
