Patent ID: 7954448

Claim:
A film forming apparatus comprising: a film forming chamber in which a film is formed; an exhaust unit which is connected to the film forming chamber, and which discharges a gas out of the film forming chamber; a holder which is provided in the film forming chamber, and which holds a process-objective material; a jetting nozzle which is provided in the film forming chamber, on which a jetting port is formed in a slit shape, and which jets an aerosol containing particulate material from the jetting port toward the process-objective material to form a film made of the particulate material on the process-objective material; and a shielding member which is provided at a side of the jetting port in a longitudinal direction extending along a direction from the jetting port toward the process-objective material to cover a side of a jet flow of the aerosol jetted from the jetting port toward the process-objective material, wherein the film forming chamber comprises an exhaust port to which the exhaust unit is connected, and the shielding member is disposed to intersect an exhaust flow of the aerosol toward the exhaust port and wherein an inner surface of the shielding member, which faces the jet flow, is a circular-arc surface, a center of which is farthest away perpendicular to the jet flow.
