PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing SiO<SB>x</SB>(x<1) which has excellent cycle properties when used as a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery, and which enables a vapor deposition film to be deposited, the vapor deposition film having excellent gas barrier properties when used as a vapor deposition material for a barrier film. SOLUTION: In the method for producing SiO<SB>x</SB>(x<1), a raw material generating an SiO gas is vaporized by plasma heating to be formed into SiO gas, then the SiO gas is deposited as a silicon oxide. The deposition of the SiO gas is preferably performed in a cooled state by using a deposition base or mixing a non-oxidizing gas into the SiO gas. As the raw material, the one obtained by mixing Si powder and SiO<SB>2</SB>powder and/or SiO powder is preferably used. The obtained silicon oxide becomes noncrystalline SiO<SB>x</SB>(x<1) which does not show a diffraction peak derived from metal silicon and silicon dioxide in X-ray diffraction measurement.
