Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: (a) loading, into a process chamber, a plurality of substrates stacked horizontally; (b) forming a film on the plurality of substrates by performing: (b-2) supplying a source gas into the process chamber through a source gas nozzle disposed at a predetermined position therein where the source gas is not decomposed even when an inside temperature of the process chamber is higher than a pyrolysis temperature of the source gas, wherein the source gas nozzle is connected to a source gas supply unit configured to supply the source gas and disposed in a nozzle accommodating portion projecting outward and installed at an inner wall of the process chamber, and the source gas is supplied by performing: (b-3) supplying a reactive gas into the process chamber through a reactive gas nozzle connected to a reactive gas unit configured to supply the reactive gas and disposed in the nozzle accommodating portion; and (b-4) exhausting the process chamber in a substantially horizontal direction using an exhaust unit; and (c) unloading the plurality of substrates from the process chamber after the substrates have been completely processed.
