Abstract
A vapor phase growth apparatus has a plurality of rotation susceptors to hold the semiconductor wafer, and a disk-like revolution susceptor on which the plurality of rotation susceptors are rotatably mounted through a bearing. The plurality of rotation susceptors each are, on its periphery, provided with a pinion gear that meshes with a common gear that allows each of the plurality of rotation susceptors to rotate on its center axis. The outermost end of rotation susceptor is substantially aligned with the outermost end of revolution susceptor and the pinion gear is located directly above the bearing.
