A substrate processing apparatus stably and efficiently conducts a film forming process on a substrate to be processed. In the substrate processing apparatus, the substrate to be processed is supported at a position facing a heater portion, and a holding member for holding the substrate is rotated, whereby the temperature distribution of the substrate is kept uniform and a warp of the substrate is suppressed. The inner wall of the processing vessel is covered with a quartz liner which is made of opaque quartz, and thus protected from ultraviolet rays emitted from an ultraviolet light source. The temperature rise of the inner wall caused by heat from the heater portion is suppressed due to the heat insulating effect of the quartz liner. Consequently, the life cycle of the processing vessel can be prolonged. <IMAGE>
