Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably produce a thin compd. or alloy film with high controllability when a thin film is formed on a substrate by the decomposition of a gaseous starting material, by sputtering a target so as to incorporate the component of the target into the thin film. CONSTITUTION:Gases for ionization such as hydrogen and nitrogen are introduced into an ionization chamber 13 from the gas inlet 10 and a gaseous starting material such as ferrocene [(C5H5)2Fe] is introduced into a reaction chamber 5 from the reactive gas inlet 11 with a carrier gas. Plasma is generated by electron cyclotron resonance and the gaseous starting material is decomposed by the plasma to form a thin film of iron carbide or the like on a substrate 1. At this time, a target 3 of Co or the like is sputtered by impressing voltage from a power source 4 for sputtering to form a thin film of iron carbide contg. Co. The resulting thin film has improved characteristics such as increased coercive force. By this method, various elements can be incorporated into a thin film and a thin compd. or alloy film can easily be formed.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a typical conventional ECR-CVD apparatus. The microwaves that have come out of the microwave oscillator 9 and passed through the microwave transmission window 7 via the waveguide 8 are introduced from the ionization gas inlet 10 into the ionization chamber 13 where a magnetic field from the magnetic field generator 6 exists. reacts with the gas generated to generate ECR plasma. The ion shower that has entered the reaction processing chamber 5 through the ion extraction window 12 reacts with the gas introduced from the reaction gas inlet 1) to grow a thin film on the substrate 1. (For example, Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, Vol. 22, 1
983 L210, Matsuo, Kikuchi) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above manufacturing method, when increasing the component elements of the thin film, it is necessary to introduce a gas containing the new element to be added. However, there are cases where it is difficult to obtain a suitable gas for the element, and even though gas can be obtained, it is often explosive, toxic, and difficult to handle. For example, in the case of boron, a gas called diborane (B2H6) can be used as a raw material, but it is highly toxic and must be handled with care.
