PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shower head structure capable of enhancing the in-plane uniformity of film thickness using a small quantity of purging inert gas even when a radiation thermometer is employed. SOLUTION: The shower head structure arranged to inject treatment gas into a treatment vessel 4 from a plurality of gas injection holes 16A and 16B provided at a shower head section 62 in order to heat treat a workpiece W mounted on a mounting table 26 in the treatment vessel comprises a temperature observing through hole 72 formed at the shower head section to face the mounting table, a transparent observation window 76 for hermetically sealing the upper end part of the temperature observing through hole, a radiation thermometer 70 provided on the outside of the transparent observation window in order to observe the temperature of the workpiece, a passage 80 for supplying inert gas into the temperature observing through hole, and a nozzle section 82 provided at the forward end part of the inert gas supply passage in order to inject inert gas toward the transparent observation window.
