Abstract

There is provided an in-line type film-forming apparatus that can prevent a substrate from being dropped out of a carrier and convey the carrier at high speed. A first supporting member (41) is supported to be displaceable in a direction along an attaching face (S1) of the support base (40) in accordance with the growth of the first supporting member (41) due to thermal expansion in a horizontal direction, a second supporting member (42) is supported to be displaceable in a direction negating the growth of the first supporting member (41) due to thermal expansion in the horizontal direction along an attaching face (S2) of the first supporting member (42) in accordance with the growth of the second supporting member (42) due to thermal expansion in the horizontal direction, and a holder (3) is supported to be displaceable in a direction negating the growth of the first and second supporting members (41) and (42) due to thermal expansion in the vertical direction along an attaching face (S3) of the third supporting member (43) in accordance with the growth of the holder (3) due to thermal expansion in the vertical direction.
