  • Publication number: 20220275514
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate processing apparatus. The positions of a first electrode and a second electrode are adjusted in advance in consideration of differences in coefficients of thermal expansion so that a short circuit created by contact between the first electrode and the second electrode is prevented even in the case in which the first electrode and the second electrode are thermally expanded during processing. Even in the case in which the first electrode and the second electrode are thermally expanded due to an increase in temperature during processing, a short circuit between the first electrode and the second electrode can be prevented, and the uniformity of a thin film can be maintained in the substrate processing apparatus for processing a large substrate.

  • Publication number: 20220098737
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a shower head which is fixed to a sidewall through a coupling unit and can prevent a separation from the sidewall, and a substrate processing apparatus including the same. The shower head may be fixed to the sidewall through the coupling unit. Therefore, a second end part of the coupling unit can prevent the coupling unit from falling out of an assist groove, even though the diameter of the assist groove is increased by thermal expansion, which makes it possible to increase a coupling force between the sidewall and the shower head. Furthermore, even when a repair work is performed, the assist groove is not widened. Although only the second end part of the coupling unit is cut, the sidewall can be easily replaced.
