PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control particle generation in a reaction tube, and to produce a high-quality semiconductor device at a high yield. SOLUTION: A sub bypass tube 65 having a sub valve SSV is formed in parallel to a bypass tube 64 for slow evacuation of an evacuation system of a heat treatment apparatus. While evacuating through the bypass tube 65 with the sub valve SSV open, a wafer boat 14 is loaded to / unloaded from a reaction tube 11, to prevent sublimation gases and particles as by-product materials from being adsorbed to a semiconductor substrate 15.
