DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Conventional decompression C described above
In the VD film forming method, the metal tray-1a and the heat equalizing plate 2a are grounded even during film formation and when carried out of the chamber, but static electricity is accumulated because the glass substrate is a dielectric. The soaking plate 2a has an earth potential. Because of this potential difference, when the glass substrate 14 and the heat equalizing plate 2a are separated from each other, a discharge occurs between the glass substrate 14 and the grounded tray-1a, and the semiconductor element forming film semiconductor element formed on the glass substrate 14 is discharged. There was a problem that the transistor was destroyed.

The insulating member 8 is made of heat-resistant vinyl chloride resin, alumina ceramic, or the like sandwiched between the inner peripheral portion 10a and the outer peripheral portion 10b of the tray and fixed with an epoxy adhesive. Further, considering only having an insulating function, the outer periphery of the tray-1 may be covered with an insulating member, but since the clamper described later contacts the outer peripheral surface of the tray-1, it has abrasion resistance. It is desirable to cover the insulating member 8 with a rigid stainless steel outer peripheral portion 10b.

Next, the door 12a is closed and the chamber 12 is evacuated to form an insulating film on the glass substrate. Even if such a grounding means is not provided, the TRAY-1 can be grounded because it is in contact with the stage 4, but the TRAY-1 should have a grounding ON / OFF function, which will be described later, and the TRAY-1 will not have a floating potential. This is because the surface facing the electrode is surely grounded.
