In a surface treatment apparatus, a conveyance device houses a placement device having a treated member placed thereon, into a housing unit. A rotation device rotates the treated member to face a direction facing a surface treatment device in a predetermined rotation pattern, in a state in which the placement device is housed in the housing unit.

A film-forming device includes: a chamber in which a mold is to be housed for shearing work; a support disposed in the chamber, the support being configured to support the mold with a hole of the mold being open in a vertical direction; and an evaporation source disposed in the chamber, the evaporation source having an evaporation surface from which metal ions are to be generated. The evaporation source is installed such that the evaporation surface is directed in a prescribed direction which is tilted with respect to a horizontal direction, and in the prescribed direction in which the evaporation surface is directed, part of an inner peripheral surface of the hole of the mold is located.

A substrate fixing device includes a first supporter supporting at least one substrate and a second supporter connected to the first supporter, making contact with a first surface and a second surface of the at least one substrate in a first direction, and vertically fixing the at least one substrate such that a third surface faces a normal line direction of the first supporter. The second supporter defines a deposition surface including the third surface, a portion of the first surface adjacent to the third surface, and a portion of the second surface adjacent to the third surface in the at least one substrate and exposes the defined deposition surface to the deposition processing space. A deposition processing equipment including the substrate fixing device and a deposition processing method using the deposition processing equipment are also provided.
