Abstract
A vapor deposition reactor has a configuration where a substrate or a vapor deposition reactor moves in a non-contact state with each other to allow the substrate to pass by the reactor and an injection unit and an exhaust unit are installed as a basic module of the reactor for receiving a precursor or a reactant and for receiving and pumping a purge gas, respectively. With the use of a small-size inlet for the reactor, homogeneous film properties are obtained, the deposition efficiency of precursors is improved, and an amount of time required for a purge/pumping process can be reduced. In addition, since the reactor itself is configured to reflect each step of ALD, it does not need a valve. Moreover, the reactor makes it easier for users to apply remote plasma, use super high frequencies including microwave, and UV irradiation.
