2. The device of claim 1 , wherein one or more stages are further disposed between the first stage and the final stage.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first stage, and each stage between the first stage and the final stage, comprises a gas moving hole.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein a number of the gas moving holes of the first stage and a number of gas moving holes of each stage between the first stage and the final stage increases from the first stage to the final stage.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the number of the gas jetting holes is more than the number of the gas moving holes on a stage adjacent to the final stage.

6. A device for disposing a gas, the device comprising:

a chamber;

a plurality of gas jetting plates disposed in the chamber, each gas jetting plate of the plurality of gas jetting plates comprising a plurality of gas jetting holes disposed on a surface thereof: and

a gas pipe fluidly connected to the gas jetting plate and extending outside the chamber,

wherein each gas jetting plate includes a first stage, which is fluidly connected to the gas pipe, and a final stage, which comprises the plurality of gas jetting holes,

wherein one or more stages are further disposed between the first stage and the final stage,

wherein the first stage, and each stage between the first stage and the final stage, comprises a gas moving hole,

wherein a number of the gas moving holes of the first stage and a number of gas moving holes of each stage between the first stage and the final stage increases from the first stage to the final stage,

wherein the number of the gas jetting holes is more than the number of the gas moving holes on a stage adjacent to the final stage, and

wherein a target substrate is disposed opposite the plurality of gas jetting holes of a first gas jetting plate of the plurality of gas jetting plates, and the target substrate is disposed on a second gas jetting plate of the plurality of gas jetting plates.

7. A device for jetting gas, comprising:

a body, which supplies a gas; and

a gas jetting unit comprising a plurality of gas jetting pipes or a plurality of gas jetting plates disposed on the body, each of the gas jetting pipes or the gas jetting plates having a plurality of gas jetting holes which jets the gas supplied from the body,

wherein the gas jetting unit is disposed in a vertical direction with respect to a surface of the body, and

wherein a target substrate is arrangeable between a pair of adjacent gas jetting pipes of the plurality of gas jetting pipes or a pair of adjacent gas jetting plates of the plurality of gas jetting plates.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein:

the gas jetting unit comprises the plurality of gas jetting pipes, which jet the gas supplied from the body, and

the gas jetting pipes are disposed on the body in a matrix.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein each gas jetting pipe of the plurality of gas jetting pipes includes the plurality of gas jetting holes on a surface thereof.

10. A device for jetting gas, comprising:

a body, which supplies a gas; and

a gas jetting unit disposed on the body, which jets the gas supplied from the body,

wherein the gas jetting unit is disposed in a vertical direction with respect to a surface of the body,

wherein:

the gas jetting unit comprise a plurality of gas jetting pipes, which let the gas supplied from the body, and

the gas jetting pipes are disposed on the body in a matrix,

wherein each gas jetting pipe of the plurality of gas jetting pipes includes a plurality of gas jetting holes on a surface thereof, and

wherein a diameter of a gas jetting hole proximal to the body is less than a diameter of a gas jetting hole distal to the body in a vertical direction.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein:

a target substrate is disposed opposite the plurality of gas jetting holes of a first gas jetting pipe of the plurality of gas jetting pipes,

the target substrate is disposed in a vertical direction with respect to a surface of the body, and

the target substrate is disposed on a second gas jetting pipe of the plurality of gas jetting pipes.

12. The device of claim 7 , wherein

the gas jetting unit comprises the plurality of gas jetting plates, which jet the gas supplied from the body, and

each gas jetting plate comprises a first stage, which receives the gas supplied from the body, and a final stage, which comprises the plurality of gas jetting holes, which jet the gas.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein a plurality of stages are further disposed between the first stage and the final stage.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first stage and each stage between the first stage and the final stage comprises a gas moving hole.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein a number of the gas moving holes of the first stage and a number of gas moving holes of each stage between the first stage and the final stage increases from the first stage to the final stage.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the number of the gas jetting holes is more than the number of the gas moving holes on a stage adjacent to the final stage.

17. A device for jetting gas, comprising:

a body, which supplies a gas; and
