PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an atomic layer deposition apparatus that is cleaned easily because thin films are not formed in a wide region other than a substrate as conventionally. SOLUTION: The atomic layer deposition apparatus disposes a substrate S in a second internal space 15 within a cylindrical reactor vessel 14 provided in a first internal space 22 within a deposition vessel 12. In the reactor vessel 14, a partition board 15c for dividing a cylindrical internal space into first-layer and second-layer spaces along a cylindrical longitudinal direction is provided in a double-layer structure. A source gas supply head 20 is provided at the side of one end of the reactor vessel, and allows source gas to flow into the first-layer space in the cylindrical longitudinal direction from one end of the reactor vessel to the other end. A gas exhaust section sucks the source gas so that the source gas flows toward one end along the cylindrical longitudinal direction in the second-layer space by folding back the flow of the source gas at the other end of the reactor vessel.
