A film formation apparatus for forming a thin film having high gas barrier performance, such as a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) film, a SiOx film, a SiOC film, a SiOCN film, a SiNx film, and an AlOx film, on an inner surface and/or an outer surface of a container such as a PET bottle. The film formation apparatus has: a vacuum chamber for forming, in a vacuum state, a film on a surface of a container using a heat generating element; a vacuum evacuation device for vacuumizing the vacuum chamber; and a relative shifting device for relatively shifting the container and the heat generating element in the vacuum chamber after the vacuumization of the vacuum chamber.

Apparatus for forming thin film

A gas barrier plastic molded product having high gas barrier properties is provided. The gas barrier plastic molded product is a gas barrier plastic molded product comprising a plastic molded product and a gas barrier thin film provided on the surface of the plastic molded product, in which the gas barrier thin film contains silicon (Si), carbon (C), oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) as constituent elements, and comprises a Si-containing layer having a Si content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 1) of 40.1% or more:Si content percentage [%]={(Si content [atomic %])/ (total content of Si, O and C [atomic %])}&#xd7;100&#x2003;&#x2003;(Mathematical Formula 1)wherein in Mathematical Formula 1, the content of Si, O or C is a content thereof in the items of the three elements of Si, O and C.

Gas-barrier plastic molded product and manufacturing process therefor

Provided is a method for producing a gas barrier plastic molded body by forming a gas barrier thin film which is substantially colorless and has gas barrier properties, on the surface of a plastic molded body by a heating element CVD method using only raw material gases that are highly safe. The method for producing a gas barrier plastic molded body according to the present invention is a method for producing a gas barrier plastic molded body () by forming a gas barrier thin film () on the surface of a plastic molded body (), the method comprising: a film-forming process in which the gas barrier thin film () is formed on the surface of the plastic molded body by a heating element CVD method, using an organosilane-based compound represented by formula (Chemical Formula 1) as a main raw material gas, using an oxidizing gas as an additive gas, and using a heating element containing tantalum (Ta) as a main constituent element:HSi&#x2014;Cn&#x2014;X&#x2003;&#x2003;(Chemical Formula 1)wherein in Chemical Formula 1, n represents 2 or 3; and X represents SiH, H, or NH.
