Abstract

A method of film deposition using a single-wafer-processing type CVD apparatus includes: (a) sealing a periphery of a susceptor to separate a reaction chamber from a wafer-handling chamber when the susceptor rises; and (b) flowing a gas from the wafer-handling chamber into the reaction chamber through at least one discharge hole formed through the susceptor via a back side and a periphery of a wafer placed on the susceptor during film deposition.
