Abstract
A film forming apparatus configured to form a film on part of a work. The film forming apparatus comprises a film forming vessel comprising a first mold located above the work and a second mold located below the work to be opposed to the first mold. The first mold is configured to include a first recessed portion that is recessed upward viewed from a film formation target part of the work and a first planar portion arranged around the first recessed portion. The second mold is configured to include a second planar portion in a place opposed to the first planar portion. The film forming apparatus also comprises a first seal member located between the first planar portion and the work. The first seal member is configured to come into contact with the first planar portion and the work when the work is away from the first planar portion. The film forming apparatus further comprises a second seal member located between the second planar portion and the work. The second seal member is configured to come into contact with the second planar portion and the work when the work is away from the second planar portion. The second seal member is provided on a lower face of the work. This configuration suppresses poor film formation when the seal member is placed between the film forming vessel and the work.
