Abstract
A deposition apparatus including a chamber having a deposition area and a non-deposition area, a gas intake device communicated with the chamber, a gas annulus disposed in the chamber and surrounding the gas intake device, a carrier disposed in the deposition area and a retaining annulus disposed in chamber and surrounding the carrier. The gas intake device is disposed corresponding to the deposition area and configured to draw a process gas into the deposition area. The gas annulus is configured to generate an annular gas curtain in the deposition area. The carrier carries a deposited object, wherein the gas annulus is located between the gas intake device and the carrier. The deposited object is surrounded by the annular gas curtain. The retaining annulus has a plurality of through holes. The retaining annulus is located between the gas annulus and the carrier.
