Abstract:
A deposited-film-forming method of forming a compound film on a substrate on which a film is to be formed, comprising:(a) emitting particles of a raw material from a raw material particle generation source, opposed to the substrate, in a direction of the substrate; (b) supplying atoms of a reactive gas to a flying space of the articles of the raw material, the space being interposed between the substrate and the raw material particle generation source; (c) supplying atoms of a rare gas in an excited state to the flying space of the particles of the raw material to ionize the atoms of the reactive gas and the particles of the raw material; (d) generating a divergent magnetic field from the raw material particle generation source in a direction of the substrate; and (e) forming a compound film on the substrate by a chemical reaction of the ionized atoms of the reactive gas and the ionized particles of the raw material.
