[0001] The present invention relates to a vertical heat treatment apparatus for heat-treating a plurality of substrates mounted on a substrate holder in a shelf shape (Japanese: shed shape) by supplying a processing gas. Background technique
[0002] As a heat treatment apparatus for performing heat treatment such as film formation processing on substrates such as semiconductor wafers (hereinafter referred to as βwaferβ), a batch-type vertical heat treatment apparatus is known. A plurality of wafers are loaded in a shelf shape, and the wafer boat is airtightly accommodated in a reaction tube, and a film-forming gas is supplied into the reaction tube in a vacuum atmosphere to form a thin film. This wafer boat has: a disc-shaped top plate and a bottom plate; and pillars connecting the top plate and the bottom plate at a plurality of positions over the entire circumferential range from the outer peripheral side. Slit-shaped grooves are formed at a plurality of ...
