Abstract
An insulating member is interposed between a film formation chamber container and a plasma chamber container. Both containers are adjacent to and communicated with each other. In the film formation chamber container, a base material holder is provided for holding the base material. Raw material gas is introduced into the plasma chamber container and ionized by high frequency electric discharge, to generate plasma. A high frequency electrode and a high frequency electric power source are provided as a plasma generating unit. There is provided a porous electrode,, the electric potential of which is the same as that of the plasma chamber container,between both chambers,to partition both chambers. A pulse electric powder source for impressing bipolar pulse voltage, in which a positive polarity portion and a negative polarity portion are alternately repeated, is provided between the base material holder and both of the plasma chamber container and the porous electrode,the electric potential of which is the same as that of the plasma chamber container
