Abstract

In a laser ablation method comprising the steps of irradiating a laser beam to target material , and depositing ejected species from the target material on a faced substrate to form a thin film, an ambient gas is introduced into reaction chamber under a constant certain pressure when the laser ablation is performed, using a target material with almost or the same composition as that of a thin film to be obtained. It is thereby possible to obtain a thin film with the same composition as that of the target material readily, without requiring an introduction of O gas and a substrate heating. As a result, it is not necessary to limit materials for a substrate, and it is possible to adjust the adaptability of an anaerobic process.
