  • Patent number: 10934624
    Abstract: The aim of the present invention lies in inexpensively providing a thin-film laminated film having excellent barrier properties. A further aim of the present invention lies in providing a method for producing a thin-film laminated film in which a plurality of thin films are coated on a plastic film by means of atmospheric-pressure plasma CVD which has low equipment costs and running costs, and also in providing a thin-film laminated film production apparatus which is able to operate continuously for a long period of time and can produce high-speed coating. A thin film according to the present invention includes a plastic film, a first silicon oxide-based thin film containing silicon oxide as the main component, and a first amorphous carbon-based thin film. The first amorphous carbon-based thin film is formed on the first silicon oxide-based thin film. The first silicon oxide-based thin film has pinholes with a diameter in the range of 10-200 nm.
