Substrate processing uniformity is improved in the surfaces of wafers and between the wafers. A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate holder holding horizontally oriented and stacked substrates, an inner tube accommodating the substrate holder, an outer tube enclosing the inner tube, a gas nozzle installed in the inner tube, a gas injection hole formed in the gas nozzle, a source gas supply unit supplying source gas to an inside of the inner tube through the gas nozzle, a gas exhaust outlet formed in a sidewall of the inner tube, an exhaust unit exhausting a gap between the outer tube and the inner tube to create a gas stream inside the inner tube from the gas injection hole to the gas exhaust outlet, and a gas penetration preventing cylinder enclosing a region of the substrate holder lower than a region of the substrate holder where the substrates are stacked.
