Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning a source gas introduction pipe, which can prevent strong adhesion of contaminant mainly containing carbon powder on an outer surface of the source gas introduction pipe to easily remove the contaminant in a short period of time. While compressed air is sprayed toward the contaminant, the contaminant removed by the spray of the compressed air is exhausted outside a system of a deposition chamber by suction and exhausting device so that the contaminant is not transferred to sides of the deposition chamber and a plastic container in which a CVD film is formed, in a process for extracting the source gas introduction pipe from the plastic container after the CVD film is formed on an inner surface of the plastic container.

Abstract: The restriction that the outer electrode of a conventional CVD film forming apparatus has to have a hollow structure including a hollow which is for accommodating a container and has a shape generally similar to the outer shape of the container is eliminated. A plasma CVD film forming apparatus is characterized in that a container outside gas is supplied into the space defined between the inner wall of an outer electrode and the outer surface of a container spaced from the inner wall, the plasma thereby produced from the container outside gas in forming a film by CVD serves as a conductor and transmits high-frequency to the outer wall of the container, a state is brought about in which the inner wall of the outer electrode is equivalently in contact with the outer surface of the plastic container, and a uniform self-bias voltage is applied to the inner wall of the container.
