Abstract
An organic thin film consisting essentially of an organic compound is formed on a substrate surface by vacuum vapor deposition by exposing the organic compound as a vapor source to a laser beam having an energy level corresponding to that of the chemical bond of the organic compound, thereby sputtering the organic compound onto a substrate surface in vacuum and forming the organic thin film thereon. When a light or radiation-sensitive organic compound is used as the vapor source, a light or radiation-sensitive resist film is formed. The thin film thus formed retains the original chemical structure of the vapor source, and has a good flatness. Resolvability of resist film is improved owing to the absence of pin holes and particulate matters. A resist film having a higher sensitivity and a better contrast is formed by heating the substrate during the vapor deposition.
