A particle film deposition apparatus and method are provided, with which ultra fine particles are generated by arc heating. The generated ultra fine particles can be efficiently sucked up into a transfer tube regardless of an arc voltage, and the resulting film can be stable in shape. An evaporation material 8 to be evaporated by arc heating and to generate ultra fine particles is connected to an electrode. As other electrodes, a plurality of rods 17 each having a discharge section at the tip thereof are provided. These rods 17 are so arranged as to be directed in each different direction with respect to the evaporation material 8. |
