Abstract

An apparatus for forming a high quality film at high speed includes a wafer susceptor provided wiht a vacuum exhaust system, a stock gas supply system, and a heating mechanism for directly heating the susceptor. A ceramic filter means is disposed in opposite juxtaposed face to face position relative to the wafer susceptor for blowing stock gas in a uniform manner against a wafer. Means for activating the stock gas is provided to thereby increase the probability of adsorption of the stock gas on the wafer surface.
