Abstract
A thin-film depositing apparatus which includes a reaction container adapted to receive a material gas therein, for a thin-film depositing reaction, a substrate supporting member located in a predetermined position in the reaction container in order to set a substrate on which a thin film is to be deposited, heating mechanism for heating the substrate supporting member to deposit the thin film, while heating the substrate, and a cover member covering, in a contacting or noncontacting manner, the whole surface of the substrate supporting member except a substrate bearing surface on which the substrate is to be set. The surface temperature of the cover member is kept lower than that of the substrate, so that an undesired film is restrained from being deposited on the surface of the cover member. Thus, a thin film of good quality can be deposited on the substrate surface with high efficiency.
