Abstract:
A method for producing an organic thin-film device having a structure including a functional organic layer formed from an organic compound and a thin-film layer deposited onto the organic layer, the method comprising:forming the thin-film layer by use of a facing-targets-type sputtering apparatus including a pair of facing targets disposed a predetermined distance away from each other; an electron reflection electrode disposed at the periphery of each target so as to face a confinement space provided between the paired targets; and magnetic field generation means disposed at the lateral sides of each target, wherein the magnetic field generation means generates a magnetic field extending from one target to the other so as to surround the confinement space, as well as a magnetic field having a portion parallel to the surface of each target in the vicinity of a peripheral edge portion of the target, wherein the thin-film layer is formed at a discharge voltage of 300 V or less.
