Abstract

A vertically oriented CVD apparatus comprises a reaction chamber, a boat means vertically placed in the reaction chamber to horizontally support a plurality of semiconductor substrates, and a gas inlet tube including a plurality of gas injection holes along a longitudinal axis thereof and extending along a longitudinal side of the boat means to introduce a reaction gas into the reaction chamber. In the structure, a direction of each of the gas injection holes is set at an angle .theta. with respect to a reference line given by a straight line connecting a center of the gas inlet tube to a center of one of the semiconductor wafers, the angle .theta. being defined by 0.degree. < .theta. .ltoreq. 90.degree..
