A system for depositing a layer on a substrate includes a processing chamber defining a gas inlet for introducing gas into the processing chamber and a gas outlet to allow the gas to exit the processing chamber. A substrate support is positioned within the processing chamber and is configured to receive a substrate. A transparent upper window includes a convex first face spaced from the substrate support to define an air gap therebetween. The upper window is positioned within the processing chamber to direct the gas from the gas inlet, through the air gap, and to the gas outlet. The first face includes a radially outer surface and a radially inner surface circumscribed within the outer surface. The outer surface has a first radius of curvature and the inner surface has a second radius of curvature that is different from the first radius of curvature.

Disclosed is a gas distributor, including: a nozzle unit formed by joining a pair of nozzle members together such that the nozzle members face each other with a first nozzle gap defined between the nozzle members; and a nozzle assembly in which at least two nozzle units are assembled together in parallel, in which the nozzle gap includes a first flow path formed in parallel in a direction of the nozzle member, and a second flow path extended from the first flow path, formed with a smaller width than a width of the first flow path along a bonded surface, and discharging gas through an end portion of one side of the second flow path, and the second flow path is extended with the first flow path, and is inclinedly provided so that a width is gradually decreased in a portion adjacent to the first flow path.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a mounting stand installed to rotate about a rotation shaft extending along a rotary shaft of a rotary table and configured to hold a substrate, and a magnetic gear mechanism including a driven gear configured to rotate the mounting stand about the rotation shaft and a driving gear configured to drive the driven gear. The driven gear is connected to the mounting stand via the rotation shaft and installed to rotate in such a direction as to rotate the mounting stand. The driving gear is disposed in a state in which the driving surface faces the driven surface passing through a predetermined position on a movement orbit of the driven gear moving along with the rotation of the rotary table.

A film forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a film forming chamber configured to house therein a substrate to perform film forming processing; a gas supplier located in an upper part of the film forming chamber and configured to supply a process gas onto the substrate; and a heater configured to heat the substrate, wherein the film forming chamber has a temperature-increase suppression region being a lower part of the gas supplier and suppressing a temperature increase of the gas supplied to an upper part of the heater.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for a thin film encapsulation (TFE). In one embodiment a process kit for use in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber is disclosed and includes a dielectric window, a sealing frame, and a mask frame connected with the sealing frame, wherein the mask frame has a gas inlet channel and a gas outlet channel formed therein on opposing sides thereof.

[Problem] To provide a means for forming a thin-film in a desired part of an object to be treated. [Solution] The thin-film formation means according to the present invention is part of a thin-film formation method which supplies electricity to a raw-material gas in a reduced pressure container, converting the raw-material gas to plasma, and irradiates the plasma, thus forming a thin-film on the surface of an object to be treated. Therein, the effect of a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generating means is used to form the thin-film in a desired part. The effect of the magnetic field focuses the flux of the plasma in a desired part of the surface of the object to be treated, thus enabling the thin-film to be formed in the desired part.
