Apparatus for fabricating polysilicon film for semiconductor device

Abstract

An apparatus for fabricating a semiconductor device having cooling jackets for preventing a gas from being exuded in a reaction chamber, thereby minimizing the generation of contaminating particles. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber having four cooling jackets respectively mounted on a first side wall adjacent to a wafer transfer chamber, a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, an upper wall and a bottom wall. A gate valve is disposed between the reaction chamber and the wafer transfer chamber and has a fifth cooling jacket. While fabricating a polysilicon film using the above apparatus, a pressure of a cassette chamber is controlled to be less than about 0.05 mtorr. Alternatively, a pressure of a cooling chamber and the wafer transfer are both controlled to be less than about 1.0 .mu.torr.
