Abstract

To provide a film-forming treatment jig for forming a thin film on a plate having a through hole of a micro diameter by a single plasma film-forming treatment. The film-forming treatment jig according to the present invention includes: a holding member 39 for holding the aperture plate in a state of exposing the through hole and the front and back surfaces of the aperture plate by clamping an aperture plate 107 having a through hole; and an electrode member having the holding member attached thereon, wherein the electrode member is electrically connected to an electrode to which the plasma electric power of a plasma CVD apparatus is applied.
