Abstract

A thin film deposition apparatus which includes a mesh type radio frequency (RF) electrode plate adapted to form plasma, a baffle guide adapted to prevent the plasma from diffusing at a low pressure, and a control unit adapted to perform control of temperature for preventing a reacting raw material from generating a degraded reaction in a gas injector, thereby enabling formation of a multi-element thin film using a multi-element reacting raw material and formation of a uniform thin film having a high density to obtain micro patterns of highly integrated semiconductor devices.
