Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to apparatuses and methods for depositing materials on substrates during atomic layer deposition processes. In one embodiment, a substrate processing apparatus comprises a chamber lid assembly including a first heating member, a susceptor positioned proximal to the chamber lid assembly, wherein the susceptor includes a second heating member for heating the substrate, a process chamber accommodating at least the chamber lid assembly and the susceptor and a controller configured to control the first heating member so as to refrain the conduction of heat energy generated by the second heating member from the susceptor to the chamber lid assembly.

Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device manufacturing method which has: a step wherein a processing substrate to be processed is placed on a substrate mounting member that is provided in a processing chamber having a plurality of gas supply regions; a film-forming step wherein a processing gas is supplied to the processing chamber, and the substrate is processed; a step wherein the substrate is carried out from the processing chamber; and a cleaning step wherein the density of the cleaning gas is controlled, while controlling cleaning gas quantities in the gas supply regions, respectively, in a state wherein the substrate is not placed in the processing chamber.

Abstract: Substrate processing of a substrate is performed in a processing chamber and the evenness in in-plane film thickness is enhanced. An exhaust unit exhausts the atmosphere in the processing chamber and a processing gas is supplied that is excited by an exciting unit. A rotational drive unit horizontally rotates a support unit that supports a mounting substrate on which the substrate is mounted; and a coolant supply/discharge unit is connected to the lower end of the support unit through a connecting unit. The substrate mounting unit has a coolant circulation path therein. The support unit includes a first coolant flow path for passing coolant through the coolant circulation path. The coolant supply/discharge unit includes a second coolant flow path. The connecting unit connects the first coolant flow path and the second coolant flow path together and is provided outside the processing chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate processing apparatus, including: a chamber, made of a metal, to form a processing space for processing a substrate; at least one rod-like heating body to heat the substrate; and a tube body, made of a material different from that of the chamber, to accommodate the heating body therein, wherein an outer diameter of the tube body on a processing space side in a penetrating portion where the tube body penetrates a wall of the chamber is set to be smaller than an outer diameter of the tube body on an outer side of the chamber in the penetrating portion.
