Abstract
A thin film deposition apparatus of the present invention includes a vacuum container for maintaining a vacuum therein, gas introducer for introducing a reactive gas into the vacuum container, and plasma generator for generating a plasma of the reactive gas within the vacuum container. A wall surface within the vacuum container is coated with pyrolytic boron nitride. The plasma generator comprises a dielectric wall provided on an outer wall of the vacuum container, the first antenna having a spiral shape, the second antenna having a spiral shape, and the conductor wire for connecting the first and second antennas to an RF power supply, antenna fixing mechanism and position adjustor for antennas.
