A method is provided for producing a film of compound material. The method includes providing a substrate and depositing a film on the substrate. The deposited film has a first chemical composition that includes at least one first chemical element and at least one second chemical element. At least one residual chemical reaction is induced in the deposited film using a source containing at least one second chemical element to thereby increase the content of at least one second chemical element in the deposited film so that the deposited film has a second chemical composition. The content of at least one second element in the second chemical composition is larger than the content of at least one second element in the first chemical composition.
