PURPOSE: To deposit a high quality film at high rate by covering a discharge space with a purge gas under pressure within a specified range, applying a bias voltage for causing the sputtering between the discharge space and a basic body, and then applying a magnetic field so that various particles in a plasma are attracted in the direction of the basic body.
CONSTITUTION: A purge gas nozzle 3 has coaxial double tube structure. Purge gas is introduced into the space between the inner and outer tubes and ejected through a blow-out port directing to blow out the purge gas in the outer peripheral direction. Consequently, discharge takes place between the central conductor 1 and the tubular insulator 2 to produce radicals. The equipment is housed in a simple vacuum vessel evacuated to set the pressure in the discharge space at 5-150Torr.
