Abstract

A thin film forming method includes the steps of preheating a plurality of base plates placed at a first position, sequentially picking up the base plates one by one and positioning a picked-up base plate at a second position, heating the picked-up base plate at the second position so that a temperature of the picked-up base plate becomes approximately equal to a predetermined temperature, moving the picked-up base plate from the second position to a third position, and growing a thin film on a surface of the picked-up base plate at the third position.
