Abstract

A film formation device includes: a processing vessel; a mounting stand installed within the processing vessel and configured to mount a substrate thereon; an elevating shaft installed so as to extend in an up-down direction while supporting the mounting stand and connected to an external elevator mechanism through a through-hole formed in the processing vessel; a bellows installed between the processing vessel and the elevator mechanism and configured to cover a periphery of the elevating shaft at a lateral side of the elevating shaft; a lid member disposed so as to surround the elevating shaft with a gap left between a lateral circumferential surface of the elevating shaft and the lid member; and a purge gas supply part configured to supply a purge gas into the bellows so that a gas flow from the bellows toward the processing vessel through the gap is formed.
