Zusammenfassung: | A thin film forming apparatus comprising first and second electrodes and a gas supply portion is disclosed. Discharge surfaces of the first and second electrodes are opposite to each other so as to form a discharge space where a high frequency electric field is generated. The gas supply portion supplies a gas containing a thin film forming gas into the discharge space so that the gas is activated by the high frequency electric field and a thin film is formed on a base material by exposing the base material to the activated gas. The thin film forming apparatus also comprises a film carrying mechanism for carrying a cleaning film which prevents at least one of the first and second electrodes from being exposed to the activated gas. The film carrying mechanism carries the cleaning film so that the film is in close contact with the discharge surface of at least one of the first and second electrodes and at least a part of other surface continued to the discharge surface. |
