Patent ID: 8573154

Claim:
A plasma film forming apparatus for forming a film on a surface of a substrate using a film raw material activated by a plasma discharge gas, comprising a plasma nozzle for ejecting the plasma discharge gas and a flow control jig that is disposed between the plasma nozzle and the substrate to cover a film formation region on the surface of the substrate, wherein the flow control jig contains: a plasma supply path for transporting the plasma discharge gas ejected from the plasma nozzle to the film formation region, a raw material supply path that is connected to a film raw material supply source and joins the plasma supply path to mix the film raw material from the film raw material supply source with the plasma discharge gas, a film formation joined path that is formed by combining the plasma supply path and the raw material supply path to bring the mixture of the plasma discharge gas and the film raw material into contact with the film formation region, an exhaust path for discharging the plasma discharge gas and an unreacted residue of the film raw material transported from the film formation region, and a recovery path that is branched from the exhaust path and extends to the plasma supply path or the film formation joined path to return the unreacted residue of the film raw material in the exhaust path to the plasma supply path or the film formation joined path.
