  • Patent number: 10968515
    Abstract: There is provided a vertical heat treatment apparatus for forming a film by supplying a precursor gas to a plurality of substrates that are held in a substantially horizontal posture on a substrate holder with a predetermined interval in a vertical direction. The apparatus includes a processing container including an inner tube accommodating the substrate holder and an outer tube that is disposed outside the inner tube; and a gas nozzle that extends vertically along an inner peripheral surface of the inner tube and has a distal end that penetrates from an inside of the inner tube to an outside of the inner tube. A first gas hole for supplying the precursor gas to the inside of the inner tube and a second gas hole for supplying the precursor gas to the outside of the inner tube are formed on the gas nozzle.
