Abstract

A heating device is formed by a heating plate formed of silica and having a heating surface for heating an object to be heated, a heating element having a predetermined pattern and fixed to a surface opposing the heating surface of the heating plate, and a reflecting plate formed of silica and brought into tight contact with the surface of the heating plate on which the heating element is formed. This heating device is arranged in a processing vessel in a CVD apparatus, and a semiconductor wafer is placed on the heating device. A process gas is supplied into the processing vessel while the semiconductor wafer is heated, thereby forming a predetermined film on the semiconductor wafer.
