Abstract
An apparatus continuously manufactures a semiconductor device. A plurality of glow discharge regions are connected by gas gates. An enough long belt-shaped substrate having a desired width is arranged along a path in which the substrate sequentially penetrates the glow discharge regions. The belt-shaped substrate is continuously conveyed in a longitudinal direction while depositing a semiconductor layer of a conductivity type which is needed in each of the glow discharge regions, thereby continuously manufacturing the device having a semiconductor junction. A plurality of rotatable rollers are arranged in a slit-shaped separating passage of the gas gates so as to support the back surface of the belt-shaped substrate while rotating the rollers.
