Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of film formation and to form a uniform film having high adhesiveness by disposing an arc discharge evaporation source in a rotating body. CONSTITUTION:A rotary shaft 11 at one end of the rotating body 2 of an approximately circular cylinderical shape in a vacuum vessel 1 is rotated by a motor 3 via a bearing 8 and the other end of the rotating body 2 is supported by a supporting base 9 and a roller 10 at the sliding contact point internally provided thereto. The negative bias from the base 9 and the roller 10 is impressed to the rotating body 2. On the other hand, the arc discharge evaporation source 4 is constituted by integrating an electrode 4a and a metal 4b to be evaporated. Cooling water from a water cooling copper tube 6 is introduced to the water path on the joint surfaces thereof, by which said electrode and metal are cooled. Small-sized objects 7 to be treated are put into the rotating body 2 and are brought into contact with the rotating body 2, by which the negative bias is impressed thereto. The metal 4b is then evaporated and ionized by utilizing the arc discharge, by which the thin films are formed on the surfaces of the objects 7. Since the metal 4b is not melted at this time, the positions and directions are freely settable according to conditions. The efficiency of the film formation is thus improved.

Inside the evacuated vacuum chamber 21, a mesh foil body 20 is rotatably attached to the upper part, and an evaporation source 23 is attached to the lower part. A film is formed on the surface of a large number of workpieces 24 housed inside the mesh foil body 20 as evaporated metal from the evaporation source 26 below passes through a portion of the mesh.

However, in the conventional barrel-type thin film forming apparatus, since the workpiece 24 is inside the mesh-like foil body 20, the evaporated metal from the evaporation source 23 located below is stuck to the mesh.
The efficiency of forming a coating on the workpiece 24 inside the foil body 20 is significantly reduced. As a result, the thickness of the coating formed on the workpiece 24 is highly uneven (one-color unevenness is likely to occur).Furthermore, the evaporated metal is wasted (which is also a cause of increased costs).
