Abstract

An apparatus for conducting chemical vapor deposition reduced pressure, comprising: means for feeding reactive gases; a reaction vessel for depositing a film layer from the reactive gases by application of thermal energy, light energy or electric energy singly or in combination; an exhaust means for exhausting unnecessary reactive gases and unnecessary reaction products from the reaction vessel and for vacuumizing or reducing pressure of the reaction vessel, including a turbo molecular pump and a pressure control valve interposed between the reaction vessel and a roughing rotary pump; and a method of chemical vapor deposition using such apparatus.
