Abstract

An apparatus for forming a thin organic film on a substrate which includes a reaction chamber for receiving a substrate on which a thin organic film is to be formed; a microwave discharge tube for supplying the reaction chamber with a carrier gas activated by microwave discharge; a microwave-generating mechanism provided with a hollow resonator for a microwave discharge; and a mechanism for supplying a carrier gas to the microwave discharge tube and a mechanism for supplying the reaction chamber with an organic compound monomer to be polymerized. That region of the microwave discharge tube where a plasma is produced by discharge does not extend to the reaction chamber, but is completely separated therefrom.
