Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly fix a solute on the surface of a base material when a thin film of a polymeric organic material is formed on the surface of the base material by introducing an atomized solution. SOLUTION: At first, only a liquid solvent 1 is excited by the second ultrasonic vibrator 14 of a second atomizer 4 to be atomized and the atomized solvent B is allowed to fall to the base material 5 in a uniform thickness as a liquid solvent 1 low in viscosity by the surface tension of the solvent to be deposited on the base material. Next, the atomized solution 2 atomized by the first ultrasonic vibrator 12 of a first atomizer 3 is deposited on the base material 5 so as to be dissolved in the liquid solvent 1 uniform in thickness.
