Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit the formation of a carbon source with low-energy plasma and to obtain a hard carbon film at a high forming speed by forming either or both of upper and lower electrodes of a material having a catalytic effect. CONSTITUTION:Gaseous hydrocarbon such as methane is introduced from a gas supply means 1 into a reaction vessel 3 and the inside of the vessel 3 is maintained under a prescribed pressure. A prescribed voltage is impressed between the upper electrode 4a made of a material such as W or Pt having the high catalytic effect and the lower electrode 4b made of a conductive material such as copper to generate reactive gaseous plasma 6. The surface of the electrode 4a is heated up to a high temp. by the self-exothermic effect in the electric discharge, by which the catalytic reaction is activated and the dissociation of the reactive gas is accelerated. Since the cracking energy of the reactive gas is decreased by the catalytic effect, the reaction is progressed simply by generating the plasma of low energy. The above-mentioned film 11 is thus deposited on a substrate 10 on the electrode 4b at a high film forming speed.
