摘要:
A photo chemical reaction apparatus comprises a vacuum container partitioned into a reaction chamber and a carrier chamber by use of partition board. The partition board has an opening into which a carrier tray can be detachably inserted so as to cause the rection chamber to be hermetically sealed. The carrier tray has a substrate holder opposite to a light-penetrating window. A reaction gas flows between this window and a substrate to be processed mounted on the substrate holder.
