Abstract

A method of forming an amorphous silicon film includes the steps of bringing a gas which is pre-excited by electron cyclotron resonance generated by an alternating electric field and a magnetic field into contact with a raw material gas containing silicone atoms in a reaction chamber in which a substrate is placed, so that the raw material gas is converted to radicals, and forming an amorphous silicon film on a surface of the substrate by the reaction of radicals therewith. Microwaves can be used as the alternating electric field.
