Abstract
There are provided a treatment chamber for removing natural oxide films formed on the surface and the underside of an object to be treated, e.g., a semiconductor wafer, in treating gas ambient atmosphere, holding member for holding the object to be treated in the treatment chamber, and a mounting member with, e.g., pins erected thereon, and a disk body disposed inside the mounting member. The mounting member and the disk body are rotated relatively to each other. The relative rotation of the mounting member and the disk body generates flows of the treating gas, so that the natural oxide films are homogeneously removed from the entire surface and underside of the object to be treated.

A processing apparatus comprising:
- means defining a treatment chamber for use in treating an object to be treated in an ambient atmosphere of treating gas;
- mounting means, the mounting means being provided with holding means for holding the object to be treated in the treatment chamber;
- a disk body disposed inside the mounting means;
- and
- rotating means;
- the rotating means including means for rotating the mounting means while prohibiting rotation of the disk body, whereby both an upper surface and an underside surface of the object to be treated are treated at the same time.
