Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To prevent an in-line film forming device from vainly becoming long even when many kinds of film forming treatment are required before forming a film by installing a plurality of turning mechanisms which turn carriers by prescribed angles at the corners of a polygonal carrying path to a carrying system. CONSTITUTION: An in-line film forming device is constituted of carriers 3 which can hold substrates 1 with the surfaces of the substrates 1 in the lateral direction against the carrying direction of the substrates 1, a carrying system which circulatively carries the carriers 3 along a polygonal carrying path 30, and a plurality of vacuum chambers 2 arranged along the path 30 so that the substrates 1 can be continuously subjected to film forming treatment in vacuums. In a film forming device constituted in such a way, the vacuum chambers 2 contain pluralities of film forming chambers installed to at least two sides of the path 30. The carrying system, in addition, is provided with a plurality of turning mechanisms which turn the carriers 3 by prescribed angles so that the surfaces of the substrates 1 can be turned in the lateral direction against the carrying direction of the substrates 1 at the corners of the path 30.
