Abstract

An apparatus for forming deposited films with a microwave plasma CVD method comprises a reactor vessel within which the pressure can be reduced, means for supplying a source gas into the reactor vessel, means for introducing the microwave into the reactor vessel and exciting a microwave discharge plasma, and means for holding a plurality of substrates so as to enclose a discharge space formed within the reactor vessel, and is characterized by comprising a holding member holding together dielectric windows for introducing the microwave into the reactor vessel, substrates for the formation of deposited films disposed so as to surround the dielectric windows and a cooling device for cooling the dielectric windows, and conveying means for conveying the holding member into and out of the reactor vessel in a vacuum atmosphere.
