Abstract

Generation of adhered materials in a space over a gas guide of a shower head is inhibited. A substrate processing apparatus includes a process chamber; a buffer chamber including a dispersion unit; a process gas supply hole installed in a ceiling portion of the buffer chamber; an inert gas supply hole installed in the ceiling portion; a gas guide disposed in a gap between the dispersion unit and the ceiling portion, the gas guide including a base end portion disposed at a side of the process gas supply hole, a leading end portion disposed closer to the inert gas supply hole than to the process gas supply hole, and a plate portion connecting the base end portion and the leading end portion; a process chamber exhaust unit; and a control unit.
