Abstract

A deposition apparatus includes a chemical discharging nozzle for continuously discharging chemicals to a substrate to be processed, a gas spraying section arranged below the chemical discharging nozzle, for spraying gas on the chemicals discharged from the chemical discharging nozzle and changing an orbit of the chemicals by pressure of the gas, a chemical collecting section for collecting the chemicals the orbit of which is changed by the gas spraying section, the chemical collecting section being arranged so as to interpose the chemicals between the gas spraying section and the chemical collecting section, and a moving section for moving the chemical discharging nozzle and the substrate relatively with each other. The gas spraying section includes a laser oscillator for emitting a laser beam, and a gas generating film that generates the gas when heated and gasified by the laser beam emitted from the laser oscillator.
