Abstract
Abstract A vacuum deposition apparatus comprising a rodlike vapor deposition source vertically mounted substantially in the center of a vacuum vessel, a cylindrical member inside the vacuum vessel and surrounding the vapor deposition source which is located substantially at the central axis of the cylindrical member, a substrate being mounted on the inner surface of the cylindrical member, a shutter for selectively shutting off a deposition metal supplied from said rodlike vapor deposition source from being deposited on the substrate, and a coil for generating a magnetic field positioned outside said cylindrical member. A heater is optionally included to heat the substrate.
