Abstract
A film forming apparatus includes: substrate processing chambers, which is formed by partitioning a space in a processing container in a circumferential direction when viewed from top, and in each of which a substrate is received and a receiving port for processing gases is formed to face a central portion of the processing container; a gas supply including a rotating body provided in the central portion of the processing container, and having a first gas supply hole and a second gas supply hole which are formed at different positions on a side peripheral surface of the rotating body along a circumferential direction; and a rotary mechanism configured to rotate the rotating body around a vertical axis such that a first processing gas and a second processing gas are switched and repeatedly supplied to the substrate processing chambers via the receiving ports, respectively.
