Patent number: 8585823Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus which has rotation type heater. Particularly, the inventive CVD apparatus has advantageous effects in that it includes a motor for rotating the heater and a position sensor assembly for detecting the orientational position of the heater, so that the thickness of a thin film being deposited on a wafer can be made uniform through the rotation of the heater upon the deposition in spite of uneven introduction of a reaction gas into a reaction chamber, and the orientational positions of the wafer at the start and the end of the deposition process which are identical to each other can be secured to thereby orient the wafer in a predetermined direction on the heater.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Eugene Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Pyung-yong Um
