Abstract
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.
