Abstract

An apparatus for treating the surface of wafers with a vaporous agent. The apparatus includes an arrangement in which, prior to being discharged, excess vapor stays for a while outside a treating chamber so as to keep the treating vapor and the discharging excess vapor at the same vaporous level. Thus, treating vapor evenly contacts the entire surface of a wafer.
