A metallic base is placed on turntable inside a vacuum chamber. A copper target is affixed to a sputtering electrode above the metallic base. Air is removed from the vacuum chamber through a vacuum outlet to increase the vacuum therein to a specific pressure, and carbon tetrafluoride and argon are introduced from a gas inlet to control the sputter pressure. Thereafter, turntable is rotated while a high frequency voltage is applied between the target and the metallic base to form a halide layer, such as a layer of copper fluoride, on a surface of metallic base.
