Abstract

A substrate heating apparatus having a conductive heater which heats a substrate includes a filament arranged in the conductive heater and connected to a filament power supply to generate thermoelectrons, and an acceleration power supply which accelerates the thermoelectrons between the filament and conductive heater. The filament has inner peripheral portions formed at a predetermined interval along an inner circle concentric with the substrate, outer peripheral portions formed at a predetermined interval on an outer circle concentric with the inner circle and having a diameter larger than that of the inner circle, and a region formed by connecting the end point of each inner peripheral portions and the end point of a corresponding one of the outer peripheral portions.
