  • Patent number: 11885024
    Abstract: A gas introduction structure extends in a longitudinal direction of a processing container having a substantially cylindrical shape to supply gas into the processing container. The gas introduction structure includes an introduction section that partitions an introduction chamber, an ejection section that partitions a plurality of ejection chambers each including a plurality of gas holes through which the gas is ejected into the processing container, and a branch section that partitions a branch chamber connected to the introduction chamber. The branch chamber is branched to correspond to the number of ejection chambers in a tournament manner and connected to the ejection chambers.

  • Publication number: 20220243329
    Abstract: A processing apparatus includes: a processing container; a first injector extending in a longitudinal direction along an inner wall of the processing container, wherein the first injector includes a first introduction port formed at a lower end and first gas holes formed in the extending portion; and a second injector extending upward along the inner wall of the processing container, folded back at an upper portion, and then extending downward, wherein the second injector includes a second introduction port formed at a lower end of an upward extending portion and second gas holes formed in a downward extending portion. The first injector includes a first throttle portion having a cross-sectional area decreasing as a distance from the first introduction port increases. The second injector includes a second throttle portion formed in the downward extending portion and having a cross-sectional area decreasing as a distance from the second introduction port increases.
