Abstract
An apparatus and a method form a thin layer on each of multiple semiconductor substrates. A processing chamber of the apparatus includes a boat in which the semiconductor substrates are arranged in a vertical direction. A vaporizer vaporizes a liquid metal precursor into a metal precursor gas. A buffer receives a source gas from the vaporizer and increases a pressure of the source gas to higher than atmospheric pressure, the source gas including the metal precursor gas. A first supply pipe connects the buffer and the processing chamber, the first supply pipe including a first valve for controlling a mass flow rate of the source gas. A second supply pipe connects the vaporizer and a pump for creating a vacuum inside the processing chamber, the second supply pipe including a second valve for exhausting a dummy gas during an idling operation of the vaporizer.
