Abstract

A reaction tube is fastened to a base plate by a plurality of bolts. A hollow shaft is secured to the base plate by a bearing interposed therebetween, and to be rotated by a motor. A casing secured to the shaft is arranged in the reaction tube, and has an opening closed by a susceptor on which a semiconductor substrate is to be placed. A heat-generating resistor is arranged in the casing. A thermocouple detects the temperature of the substrate. A temperature control circuit controls the temperature of the resistor by the output of the thermocouple.
