Zusammenfassung:A method of forming on the surface of a flexible base material, such as a plastic, a highly transparent zinc oxide thin-film of high conductivity without essential requirement of impurity doping; and a thin-film production apparatus therefor. There is provided a method of forming a zinc oxide thin-film through reaction of oxygen radicals with zinc atoms on the surface of a base material disposed in a film forming chamber having been evacuated to vacuum, wherein the density of crystal defects being defects of an atomic arrangement of zinc oxide thin-film is controlled by the temperature of the base material to thereby achieve formation of a zinc oxide thin-film. For intentionally disordering of the regularity of the atomic arrangement of zinc oxide thin-film, it is preferred that film formation be conducted while maintaining the temperature of the base material at 400°C or below.
