Abstract
A method for forming a film, including: forming a film on a base body; and discharging a gas with a discharging unit. A channel plate is above and opposite to the base body via a space. A mixed gas flow linearly flows from a mixed gas supplying unit toward the discharging unit so that the mixed gas through the space above the base body is along at least part of a main surface of the base body. A projection is formed on a part of: the channel plate and/or the stage to inhibit deviation of the mixed gas flow from a direction toward the discharging unit. The channel plate and projection are provided so that a gap having a width smaller than a shortest distance in the space between the channel plate and the base body is formed, and the film-formation and the discharging are performed.
