Abstract

An apparatus, for forming a film according to an automated continuous CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method includes a wafer holder having a plurality of separate, detachable susceptors, a rotary shaft for rotating the wafer holder to rotate wafer mounting surfaces of the susceptors in one plane, a gas distributor spaced from the wafer holder and facing the moving surface of the wafer mounting surface to discharge a reaction gas onto the wafer mounting surfaces, and a heating instrument spaced from the wafer holder and facing the moving surface of the opposite side of the wafer mounting surfaces, in order to keep the wafer at a stable temperature during forming a film and to allow maintenance and repair to be easily and efficiently performed.
