ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a gas introducing mechanism and a processing apparatus for processing an object to be processed, which can supply a gas uniformly over the whole region of a processing space so as to enhance uniformity of a process in the surface of the object to be processed. The gas introducing mechanism50, which is adapted to provide a process to the object W to be processed, by using the gas, in a processing vessel4, includes a gas introducing ring member54for introducing the gas from the exterior of the processing vessel4, a disk-like rotary base56provided rotatably below a top plate48in the processing vessel4, and a ring-shaped gas injection ring member60provided around a rotary base56so as to be closer and opposed to the gas introducing ring member54. A gas injecting slit58is provided in the ring-shaped gas injection ring member60, the slit58being formed along the circumferential direction of the rotary base. A ring-shaped gas guide groove62is provided on at least either one of opposing side faces of the gas introducing ring member54and gas injection ring member60, along the circumferential direction, corresponding to a gas introducing port.
