A semiconductor processing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include, a reaction chamber and a susceptor dispose in the reaction chamber configured for supporting a substrate thereon, the susceptor comprising a plurality of through-holes in an axial direction of the susceptor. The apparatus may also include, a plurality of lift pins, each of the lift pins being disposed within a respective through-hole, and at least one gas transmitting channel comprising one or more gas channel outlets, the one or more gas channel outlets being disposed proximate to the through-holes. Methods for processing a substrate within a reaction chamber are also disclosed.
