Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a uniform film thickness for even a cylindrical sample, by introducing a material gas into a reaction chamber from the side thereof, and carrying out glow discharge while rotating the gas in a predetermined direction. CONSTITUTION:Evacuation 13 is effected from the lower part of a cylindrical reaction chamber 11, and a cylindrical sample 15 is disposed on a table 14 coaxially with the reaction chamber. Gas inlet pipes 12 are attached to the side surface of the reaction chamber 11, at four rotationally symmetrical positions, three for each, vertically. The direction of the gas jetting out from the opening 16 of each of the pipes 12 is inclined at an angle theta with respect to the direction toward the center of the chamber 11, so that the gas rotates in a predetermined direction. A high-frequency electric power is applied to an induction coil 17 provided on the outer periphery of the reaction chamber 11 to decompose the material gas introduced under a predetermined pressure by a glow discharge. Thereby, it is possible to deposite a uniform film on even cylindrical samples other than planar samples. In addition, the gas inlet pipes may be inserted into the reaction chamber to jet off and rotate the gas in a predetermined direction.

In conventional apparatuses for forming films such as amorphous 81 by glow discharge, gas was generally introduced from above the reaction chamber as shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is the reaction chamber, 2 is the gas introduction pipe, and S is the exhaust pipe.
A sample substrate 5 supported on a support stand 4 is placed in one circle of the reaction chamber, and eVC high-frequency power is applied to an induction coil spread around the outer circumference of the reaction chamber 1 to cause the raw material gas introduced at a predetermined pressure to be decomposed by Darrow discharge. A film is formed on the sample substrate 5 using the method.

With such conventional equipment, it was possible to form a uniform film on flat samples such as silicon wafers, glass plates, quartz plates, metal plates, etc. as shown in the figure. It was difficult to form an amorphous 81 film of uniform thickness on samples with different shapes, such as AJ's cylindrical drums for electrophotography. If a uniform film thickness cannot be obtained, for example, when the membrane tube is used as a photosensitive member for electrophotography, there is a drawback that significant non-uniformity occurs in image formation. The object of the present invention is to provide a film forming apparatus using glow discharge that can form a film with a uniform thickness even when the film is formed.
