ABSTRACT:
A thin-film deposition apparatus includes a reaction chamber, a substrate transfer chamber, a susceptor having a radially-extending step portion, a ring-shaped separation wall for separating the reaction chamber and the substrate transfer chamber at a processing position where the susceptor is positioned inside the ring-shaped separation wall, and a conductive sealing member which is interposed between the radially-extending step portion and the separation wall to seal the reaction chamber from the substrate transfer chamber when the susceptor is at a processing position.
