PURPOSE:To easily produce a thin amorphous Ta alloy film having excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, etc., by sputtering the Ta-Si-B alloy expressed by the specific formula and depositing said alloy by evaporation on a cooled substrate. CONSTITUTION:The Ta-Si-B alloy having the compsn. expressed by the formula Ta1-x(Si1-yBy)x (x=0.01-0.4, y=0.01-0.99) is installed as a target 1 in a chamber 3 and is cooled with cooling water. The substrate 2 is installed thereabove and is cooled with liquid nitrogen 12 down to a room temp. or below. The inside of the chamber 3 is then evacuated to a vacuum by a vacuum pump 4 and gaseous Ar is introduced through an introducing pipe 7 into the chamber until a prescribed pressure is attained. A high-frequency power supply 8 is turned on and sputtering is executed by a conventional method. The thin amorphous Ta alloy film having a high crystallization temp. is thereby easily formed on the substrate 2 over a wide area with uniform quality.
