  • Patent number: 6903030
    Abstract: A supply system in a heat-treating apparatus for a semiconductor process has a combustor (12), heating unit (13), and gas distributor (14). The combustor (12) has a combustion chamber (59) disposed outside a process chamber (21). The combustor (12) generates water vapor by reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in the combustion chamber (59), and supplies it to the process chamber (21). The heating unit (13) has a heating chamber (61) disposed outside the process chamber (21). The heating unit (13) selectively heats a gas not passing through the combustion chamber (59) to a temperature not lower than an activating temperature of the gas, and supplies it to the process chamber (21). The gas distributor (14) selectively supplies the hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to the combustion chamber (59), and selectively supplies a reactive gas and inactive gas to the heating chamber (61).
