Abstract:
Provided are a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method capable of achieving uniform trimming throughout an entire surface of a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a gas channel including a center gas inlet and an additional gas inlet spaced apart from the center gas inlet, and a shower plate including a plurality of holes connected to the center gas inlet and the additional gas inlet, wherein a gas flow channel is formed having a clearance defined by a lower surface of the gas channel and an upper surface of the shower plate, the lower surface and the upper surface being substantially parallel.

Claim (Index 1):
A substrate processing method comprising:\n applying plasma on a substrate including a pattern structure; trimming the pattern structure by independently supplying a first trimming gas and a second trimming gas , under a plasma atmosphere; and forming a thin film layer on a side surface and an upper surface of the pattern structure after the pattern structure is trimmed, wherein, during the trimming of the pattern structure, the first trimming gas is supplied through a center gas inlet of a gas supply unit, and the second trimming gas is supplied through an additional gas inlet that is spaced apart from the center gas inlet of the gas supply unit.
