Abstract

A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus for depositing a thin film on a substrate by CVD has a material container for containing a liquid CVD source material, a material feeder for feeding the liquid CVD source material to a vaporizer for vaporizing the liquid CVD source material, and a reaction chamber for forming the thin film on the substrate using the CVD source material gas. Both the vaporizer and piping between the vaporizer and the reaction chamber are located in a thermostatic box surrounding the reaction chamber. Thus, the structure of the apparatus is simplified and also the heat efficiency of the apparatus is improved.
