    Abstract: A chamber cleaning method in accordance with an exemplary embodiment includes a chamber stabilizing process for transporting a substrate, on which a thin film deposition process has been completed, out of a chamber and processing an inside of the chamber, wherein the chamber stabilizing process includes: a cleaning process for injecting a cleaning gas into the chamber and etching and cleaning byproducts generated by the thin film deposition; and a coating process for injecting a gas including at least one among aluminum (Al), zirconium (Zr) or hafnium (Hf) into the chamber, and generating a protective film on an inner wall of the chamber and at least one surface of components installed inside the chamber.

    Abstract: Provided is a substrate processing apparatus. The positions of a first electrode and a second electrode are adjusted in advance in consideration of differences in coefficients of thermal expansion so that a short circuit created by contact between the first electrode and the second electrode is prevented even in the case in which the first electrode and the second electrode are thermally expanded during processing. Even in the case in which the first electrode and the second electrode are thermally expanded due to an increase in temperature during processing, a short circuit between the first electrode and the second electrode can be prevented, and the uniformity of a thin film can be maintained in the substrate processing apparatus for processing a large substrate.
