Degree of vacuum in the vacuum chamber 301 at that time was 2 X 10- 3 Torr. A metal aluminum film is formed on the silicon substrate 303 placed on the substrate holder 304 from the metal aluminum sputter target 302 by DC sputtering. When the sputtering power was 30 W, the thickness of the formed metal aluminum film was 2 nm.
- the silicon substrate on which the metal aluminum film has been deposited is moved onto the heating holder 308 in the vacuum vessel 307 via the gate vane lev 306. After heating the silicon substrate with the Caro heat honoreda 308, the flexible tube 309 mixes krypton and oxygen ( ⁇ )
- the gas is supplied at a flow rate of 100: 1 so as to total 100 sccm, and is introduced into the vacuum vessel 307 through the quartz tube 311. By introducing the mixed gas, the degree of vacuum in the vacuum vessel 307 becomes 1 Torr.
