PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices which is sufficiently safe for workers. SOLUTION: The apparatus 100 for manufacturing the semiconductor devices includes: a cabinet 10 having an opening 12 on a front face thereof; a front door 20 provided at the opening 12 of the cabinet 10 so as to be freely openable and closable; a low oxygen gas intake port 14 for introducing nitrogen gas or gas with an oxygen concentration lower than that contained in the atmospheric air into the cabinet 10; a gas exhaust port 16 for exhausting the gas inside the cabinet 10; a ventilation mechanism 30 for introducing atmospheric air or oxygen into the cabinet 10; a locking mechanism 40 for locking the front door 20 in a closed state; and a detector 50 for detecting the oxygen concentration in the cabinet 10, wherein the locking mechanism 40 unlocks the front door when the oxygen concentration detected by the detector 50 reaches a predetermined value or higher.
