A method for controlling flow and concentration of a liquid precursor includes: supplying a carrier gas to a first auto-pressure regulator and outputting therefrom the carrier gas at a first pressure to a precursor reservoir; outputting the mixture of the vaporized precursor and the carrier gas from the precursor reservoir; and supplying the mixture to a second auto-pressure regulator and outputting therefrom the mixture at a second pressure to a reactor via an orifice.

Method for controlling flow and concentration of liquid precursor

A single-wafer-processing type CVD apparatus for forming a thin film on an object to be processed includes a reaction chamber, a susceptor for placing the object thereon, a shower plate for emitting a jet of reaction gas to the object, which is set up in parallel and opposing to the susceptor, an orifice for bringing a liquid raw material and a carrier gas into the reaction chamber, which is formed through the ceiling of the reaction chamber, an evaporation plate means for vaporizing the liquid raw material, which is set up in a space between the ceiling of the reaction chamber and the shower plate, and a temperature controlling mechanism for controlling the shower plate and the evaporation plate means at respective given temperatures.
