Abstract

A vacuum processing apparatus for performing various processes on a wafer in a vacuum chamber, and a film deposition method and a film deposition apparatus using this vacuum processing apparatus. The vacuum processing apparatus, the film deposition method and the film deposition apparatus using the vacuum processing apparatus according to this invention are characterized in that temperature control of the wafer is performed in a film deposition process, and particularly characterized in that after the emissivity calibration using a combination of a temperature calibration stage and a shutter is performed, the substrate is transferred to stages in a vacuum film deposition process chamber, and a film is deposited on the substrate by controlling the substrate temperature to a specified temperature.
