SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing chamber configured to process a plurality of substrates, a substrate holder accommodated within the processing chamber and configured to hold the substrates in a vertically spaced-apart relationship, a thermal insulation portion configured to support the substrate holder from below within the processing chamber, a heating unit provided to surround a substrate accommodating region within the processing chamber, and a gas supply system configured to supply a specified gas to at least a thermal insulation portion accommodating region within the processing chamber.
