Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for trapping multiple reaction by-products for a semiconductor process, in which in order to separate, with the single trapping apparatus, reaction by-product mixtures contained in unreacted gases discharged after a process of depositing multiple different thin film layers is performed in a process chamber during a semiconductor manufacturing process, a trapping region division part is provided, which divides a heat distribution region into trapping regions for respective reaction by-products while controlling a flow in a movement direction of an introduced unreacted gas, thereby trapping a reaction by-product aggregated in the form of a thin film in a relatively high-temperature region by using a first internal trapping tower in a front region, and trapping a reaction by-product aggregated in the form of powder in a relatively low-temperature region by using a second internal trapping tower in a rear region.
