Abstract: The inventive concepts provide a substrate treating apparatus. The apparatus includes a process chamber, a substrate support unit, a gas supply unit, a microwave applying unit, an antenna plate, a slow-wave plate, a dielectric plate, and an exhaust baffle, and a liner. The liner includes a body having a ring shape facing an inner sidewall of the process chamber, and a flange extending from the body into a wall portion of the process chamber.
