Abstract:
A film deposition apparatus includes a turntable; a first process gas supply portion; a gas nozzle that supplies a second process gas; a nozzle cover that is provided to cover the gas nozzle; a separation gas supply portion, wherein the nozzle cover includes an upper plate portion, and an upstream sidewall portion and a downstream sidewall portion that extend downward from upstream and downstream edge portions of the upper plate portion in a rotational direction of the turntable, respectively, wherein an inner surface of the upstream sidewall portion is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to a surface of the turntable, and wherein an angle θ1 between the inner surface of the upstream sidewall portion and the surface of the turntable is smaller than an angle θ2 between an inner surface of the downstream sidewall portion and the surface of the turntable.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus includes a loading and unloading unit having a first side surface through which a container accommodating a substrate is loaded and unloaded, and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, a substrate transport unit extending along a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the second side surface, and a plurality of batch processing units adjacent to one another along a longitudinal direction of the substrate transport unit. Each of the plurality of batch processing units includes a processing container configured to accommodate and process a plurality of substrates, a gas supply unit configured to supply a gas into the processing container, and an exhaust unit configured to exhaust the gas inside the processing container. A first maintenance area, used for attending to a maintenance of the plurality of batch processing units, is provided above the exhaust unit.

Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus is provided to deposit a film including a reaction product on a substrate by repeating a supply cycle of sequentially supplying at least two kinds of reaction gases reactable with each other to a surface of the substrate in a chamber. The substrate processing apparatus includes a turntable provided in the chamber and having a concave portion for receiving the substrate formed in its surface and through-holes formed in the concave portion, a lifting mechanism including lift pins used when transferring the substrate placed on the concave portion, and a control unit configured to control the lifting mechanism. The control unit controls the lifting mechanism to carry the substrate out of the concave portion by moving the lifting pins upward in a vertical direction and inward in a radial direction of the turntable after the lifting pins contact the substrate through the through-holes.
