Substrate processing apparatus, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium and method of manufacturing semiconductor device
There is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by processing a substrate by alternately supplying a first processing gas and a second processing gas plasmatized by a plasma unit to a processing container. The method includes: starting a supply of an electric power to plasmatize the second processing gas to the plasma unit without supplying the second processing gas to the plasma unit; and starting a supply of the second processing gas with the electric power being supplied to the plasma unit.
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by processing a substrate by alternately supplying a first processing gas and a second processing gas plasmatized by a plasma unit to a processing container, the method comprising:
starting a supply of an electric power to plasmatize the second processing gas to the plasma unit without supplying the second processing gas to the plasma unit;
starting a supply of the second processing gas with the electric power being supplied to the plasma unit;
supplying an inert gas between a supply of the first processing gas and the supply of the second processing gas;
starting the supply of the second processing gas before a supply of the inert gas is terminated; and
terminating and restarting the supply of the inert gas with the second processing gas being supplied.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: continuously supplying the electric power to the plasma unit even after the supply of the second processing gas is terminated.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: applying the electric power to the plasma unit even when none of the first processing gas and the second processing gas is supplied to the substrate.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: applying the electric power constantly while the substrate is processed.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first processing gas is supplied without being plasmatized, and the second processing gas is supplied by being plasmatized by the plasma unit.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the inert gas is supplied so as to prevent the first processing gas from being mixed with the second processing gas.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: supplying the inert gas to the plasma unit before the supply of the second processing gas starts.
8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: plasmatizing the inert gas by the plasma unit.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the inert gas is supplied before the supply of the second processing gas is terminated, and an inner pressure of the processing container while the inert gas is supplied is higher than that of the processing container while the second processing gas is supplied.
10. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: continuously supplying the electric power to the plasma unit even after the supply of the second processing gas is terminated.
11. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: applying the electric power to the plasma unit even when none of the first processing gas and the second processing gas is supplied to the substrate.
12. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising: applying the electric power constantly while the substrate is processed.
13. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the inert gas is supplied before the supply of the second processing is terminated, and an inner pressure of the processing container while the inert gas is supplied is higher than that of the processing container while the second processing gas is supplied.
