Substrate Processing Apparatus

Abstract

Disclosed is a substrate processing apparatus capable of improving the characteristic of a film formed on the surface of a wafer, using a single-wafer type substrate processing apparatus which heats and processes a wafer. The substrate processing apparatus may include: a processing vessel where a substrate is processed; a substrate supporter including: a first heater configured to heat the substrate to a first temperature; and a substrate placing surface where the substrate is placed; a heated gas supply system including a second heater configured to heat an inert gas, wherein the heated gas supply system is configured to supply a heated inert gas into the processing vessel; and a controller configured to control the first heater and the second heater such that a temperature of a front surface of the substrate and a temperature of a back surface of the substrate are in a predetermined range.
