Disclosed are DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (DC PA-CVD) apparatus operable in the absence of a positive column, a method for depositing a material by DC PA-CVD in the absence of a positive column, and a diamond thin film fabricated thereby. In the method for depositing a material in the absence of a positive column, a discharge is generated between a cathode and an anode disposed to face each other in a reaction chamber by applying a DC voltage therebetween, and introducing reaction gas into the reaction chamber, thereby depositing a material on a substrate mounted on the anode and serving as a part of the anode, wherein the deposition of the material on the substrate is performed under a state that a cathode glow and an anode glow exist in a form of thin layers coating respectively the surfaces of the cathode and the substrate, while a positive column does not exist or is so small as to be negligible. The diamond thin film fabricated by the method is uniform, contains no impurity, and has excellent crystallinity.
