A method for forming a deposited film, comprising generating plasma in a plurality of successive vacuum containers and continuously forming a deposited film on a belt-like substrate while continuously moving the substrate in its longitudinal direction, wherein an opening of a discharge container is adjusted with an opening adjusting plate having a shape set so as to reduce ununiformity of a deposited film thickness in a width direction of the substrate on the basis of a measurement of a deposition rate distribution. Accordingly, there is provided a method and an apparatus for forming a deposited film which are capable of producing a photovoltaic element without ununiformity in characteristics by depositing semiconductor layers without ununiformity in thickness and quality.
