Abstract

In a substrate processing apparatus, a process vessel is configured to accommodate and process a substrate held at a horizontal position. A gas introduction port is installed at a periphery of a first side of the process vessel and configured to introduce gas into the process vessel from a lateral direction of the substrate. A gas exhaust port is installed at a second side of the process vessel which is opposite to the first side, and is configured to exhaust gas inside the process vessel from a lateral direction of the substrate. A slope part is installed between the gas introduction port and the gas exhaust port inside the process vessel, and is configured to guide a flow path of the gas introduced into the process vessel.
