Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus for forming a boron doped silicon-germanium film on one or more substrates in a reaction furnace of a low pressure CVD apparatus uses a mixture gas of GeH4 and SiH4 as a reaction gas, and BCl3 as a doping gas. The substrate processing apparatus includes a plurality of gas outlets for supplying GeH4 at different locations in the reaction tube and a doping gas line for supplying BCl3 at least at an upstream side of gas flow in the reaction tube.
