Abstract
A film-forming method for forming a thin film on a substrate includes a contact step, an external force removal step, and a film-forming step. At the contact step (step B), the substrateand a memberin contact with one surface of the substrate is stacked, and the substrateand the memberin contact with one surface of the substrate are placed under vacuum while an external force is applied in a direction in which the substrateand the memberin contact with one surface of the substrate are stacked. At the external force removal step (step C), the external force is removed at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. At a film-forming step (step E), a thin film is formed on the one surface or the other surface of the substrate
