Abstract

A vertical CVD apparatus is arranged to process a plurality of target substrates all together to form a silicon germanium film. The apparatus includes a reaction container having a process field configured to accommodate the target substrates, and a common supply system configured to supply a mixture gas into the process field. The mixture gas includes a first process gas of a silane family and a second process gas of a germane family. The common supply system includes a plurality of supply ports disposed at different heights.
