[Object] To provide a method for forming a zirconia film, which is capable of obtaining favorable film quality by an aerosol gas deposition method. [Solving Means] The method for forming a zirconia film by an aerosol gas deposition method, the method including: placing zirconia fine particles P having a mean particle diameter of 0.7 µm or more and 11 µm or less and a specific surface area of 1 m 2 /g or more and 7 m 2 /g or less in a closed container 2; generating aerosol A of the zirconia fine particles P by introduction of a gas into the closed container 2; conveying the aerosol A through a transfer pipe 6 connected to the closed container 2 into a deposition chamber 3 kept at a pressure lower than that of the closed container 2; and depositing the zirconia fine particles P on a substrate S placed in the deposition chamber 3. It is possible to form a zirconia thin film that is dense and highly adhesive to the substrate by zirconia fine particles satisfying the above-mentioned conditions. |
