Abstract
A reactor for thin film deposition and a thin film deposition method using the reactor are provided. The reactor includes: a reactor block which receives a wafer transferred through a wafer transfer slit; a wafer block which is installed in the reactor block to receive the wafer thereon; a top plate disposed to cover the reactor block; a shower head which is mounted on the bottom of the top plate and diffuses gas toward the wafer; and an exhaust unit which exhausts the gas from the reactor block. A first supply pipeline which supplies a first reactant gas and/or an inert gas to the wafer; a second supply pipeline which supplies a second reactant gas and/or an inert gas to the wafer; and a plasma generator which generates plasma between the wafer block and shower head are included. The shower head includes: a first supply path connected to the first supply pipeline; a plurality of first diffuse holes formed in the bottom of the shower head at a constant interval; a first main path formed parallel to the plane of the shower head and connecting the plurality of first diffuse holes and the first supply path; a second supply path connected to the second supply pipeline; a plurality of second diffuse holes formed in the bottom of the shower head at a constant interval as the plurality of the first diffuse holes; and a second main path formed parallel to the plane of the shower head at a different height from the second main path and connecting the plurality of second diffuse holes and the second supply path.

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.
