(Prior Art) Conventionally, in order to form a hydrogenated amorphous silicon / carbon film on the surface of a substrate, a substrate-like substance having a silicon atom in the molecule (for example, monosilane, disilane, trisilane, fluorinated silane). And a gaseous substance having a carbon atom in the molecule (for example, methane, ethylene, acetylene, propane, etc.) is supplied onto the substrate in the vacuum container and plasma-decomposed or photo-decomposed to generate these decomposition reactions.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the plasma CVD method or the photo CVD method, a gaseous state having carbon atoms in its molecule is used as a generation source of carbon contained in hydrogenated amorphous silicon / carbon. Although substances are used, the molecules of such gaseous substances generally have extremely stable bonds formed by carbon atoms with hydrogen and fluorine as compared with those of silicon, so gaseous substances containing carbon are generally extremely stable,
Therefore, the decomposition efficiency by plasma or light is low, and therefore
Not only is the rate of formation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon / carbon film slow, but the development of the three-dimensional network structure is not sufficient in such a film, and carbon is not sufficiently incorporated into the film.
The film quality becomes poor.
