An apparatus is provided for plating a lithium (Li)-compound thin film. In the thin film, Li is obtained through thermal evaporation, and titanium (Ti) or other metal by using arc plasma. The elements converted into gas phase are co-deposited in a plasma environment with a reaction gas (oxygen) to be activated as excited atoms or molecules for reaction. In the end, all of the constituent elements are deposited on a substrate to form the Li-compound thin film. Thus, reaction efficiency is high with a fast deposition rate. The composition ratio of each element is independently determined to control its yield according to the requirement. Hence, the present invention greatly enhances the fabrication rate with lowered production cost for applications in the thin-film battery industries.
