Abstract

The present invention provides a method for forming a transparent thin film by a chemical vapor deposition method using a gaseous raw material. In the method, a film growth rate is at least 8 nm/s, and the transparent thin film contains at least one selected from carbon (C) and oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and silicon (Si). According to this method, a transparent thin film that does not peel off a substrate easily due to the eased tension in the thin film and has high transmittance in the visible light region can be deposited on a glass ribbon in a float bath.
