Abstract: The present invention discloses a production apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor device which comprises a vacuum processing chamber where film formation or etching is performed for a semiconductor wafer, a gas introducing part for introducing a process gas into the vacuum processing chamber, and a shower head for uniformly diffusing the introduced process gas, where a plate having a plurality of gas blowing holes for blowing the process gas on the semiconductor wafer are arranged and opened with uniform density is provided on the face of a shower head opposing the semiconductor wafer. Each of the gas blowing holes opened in the plate is a steeped hole having a large diameter hole part and a small diameter hole part, formed by varying the step location in response to the pressure distribution of the process gas within the shower head so as to make the amount of the gas blown from respective gas blowing holes uniform.
