Abstract

A gas-phase growth process for growing films of uniform thickness or having a prescribed pattern form or growing films sequentially onto a substrate and an apparatus related thereto. The films are grown by allowing an inert gas to flow over a reaction gas flow in parallel to the surface of the substrate. Optionally, the substrate surface could be irradiated by a UV light source which is directed from above the inert gas toward the substrate surface.
