Abstract
An improved method of growing a thin film in gaseous phase maintaining a uniform thickness and uniform electric properties such as resistivity, etc. over the whole surface of the film, and an apparatus for growing a thin film in gaseous phase adapted to conducting the above method. A method grows the thin film in gaseous phase by flowing down a film-forming reaction gas through plural gas feed ports 1, 2 formed in the top portion of a cylindrical reactor of an apparatus for glowing a thin film in gaseous phase via flow stabilizer plates 3, and bringing the film-forming reaction gas into contact with the wafer substrate A placed on a rotary susceptor 4 disposed on the lower side thereby to grow a thin film on the surface of the substrate, wherein space formed by the inner wall at the top portion of the reactor B and the flow stabilizer plates 3 is sectionalized into plural spatial sections in a concentric manner with the center of the wafer substrate A as nearly a center point, the gas feed ports 1, 2 are arranged to be corresponded to the sections, and at least either the flow rate or the concentration (8, 9) of the film-forming reaction gas fed to any one of the sections is adjusted.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
