Single-wafer-processing type CVD apparatus
First Claim
1. A single-wafer-processing type CVD apparatus for forming a thin film on an object to be processed, which comprises:
- a reaction chamber, a susceptor for placing said object thereon, which is provided inside said reaction chamber;
a shower plate for emitting a jet of reaction gas to said object, which is disposed parallel and opposing to said susceptor;
an orifice for bringing a liquid raw material for deposition and a carrier gas into said reaction chamber, which is formed through a ceiling of said reaction chamber;
an evaporation plate for vaporizing said liquid raw material, which is disposed in a space between said ceiling of said reaction chamber and said shower plate; and
a temperature controller for controlling said shower plate and said evaporation plate at respective given temperatures.

Abstract
A single-wafer-processing type CVD apparatus for forming a thin film on an object to be processed includes a reaction chamber, a susceptor for placing the object thereon, a shower plate for emitting a jet of reaction gas to the object, which is set up in parallel and opposing to the susceptor, an orifice for bringing a liquid raw material and a carrier gas into the reaction chamber, which is formed through the ceiling of the reaction chamber, an evaporation plate means for vaporizing the liquid raw material, which is set up in a space between the ceiling of the reaction chamber and the shower plate, and a temperature controlling mechanism for controlling the shower plate and the evaporation plate means at respective given temperatures.

12. A method for forming a thin film on an object to be processed using a CVD apparatus, which comprises the steps of:
- introducing a liquid raw material for deposition and a carrier gas into a reaction chamber through an orifice disposed in a ceiling of the reaction chamber;
receiving and vaporizing the liquid raw material by an evaporation plate disposed in a space between the ceiling of said reaction chamber and a shower plate;
emitting a jet of reaction gas from the shower plate to the object placed on a susceptor disposed parallel to the shower plate; and
controlling said shower plate and said evaporation plate at respective given temperatures. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
