Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a composite vapor deposition film composed of a plurality of elements and a method for manufacturing the same. A composite vapor deposition film is produced by having a composite of multi-component particles turned into a vapor to instantaneously evaporate the multi-component particles to an energy active vapor phase state. The composite vapor phase substance is solidified on a deposition substrate to form the vapor deposition film.
