  • Patent number: 9490151
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus performs a predetermined process on a substrate by using a processing gas under a vacuum atmosphere. The substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber configured to accommodate the substrate and to be kept in the vacuum atmosphere; a substrate mounting table configured to mount the substrate thereon in the chamber; a gas introduction member configured to introduce a gas including the processing gas in the chamber; a partition wall member provided to be movable up and down in the chamber and configured to form a partition wall that defines a processing space in a region including the substrate above the substrate mounting table; and an elevating mechanism configured to move the partition wall member up and down.
