Summary:An auxiliary anode (30) having a ring-shaped permanent magnet (31) is placed in a vacuum chamber (11) such that the auxiliary anode is coaxial with a central axis of a hearth (20) and is positioned so as to surround an upper area of the hearth. A plasma beam generated by a plasma beam generator (13) using arc discharge is guided into the hearth. Magnesium (Mg) is used as a vaporization material on the hearth. Gas mixed with oxygen is supplied into the vacuum chamber. As a result, magnesium oxide particles sublimated from the hearth react with oxygen plasma generated by the plasma to form a magnesium oxide (MgO) film on a substrate (40).
