Abstract

A photo-assisted CVD apparatus including a reaction chamber for storing a substrate, an inlet port for feeding a source gas into the reaction chamber, a light source for radiating light on the source gas fed into the reaction chamber to decompose the source gas upon radiating the light, thereby depositing a film on the substrate, an inlet port for supplying an etching gas into the reaction chamber, and a discharge electrode, arranged above the substrate and having a configuration, surrounding a space above the substrate, for exciting the etching gas.
