Method of manufacturing semiconductor device, substrate processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device can enhance controllability of the diameters of grains of a film containing a predetermined element such as a silicon film when the film is formed. The method includes (a) forming a seed layer containing a predetermined element and carbon on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including alternately performing supplying a first source gas containing the predetermined element, an alkyl group and a halogen group to the substrate and supplying a second source gas containing the predetermined element and an amino group to the substrate, or by performing supplying the first source gas to the substrate a predetermined number of times; and (b) forming a film containing the predetermined element on the seed layer by supplying a third source gas containing the predetermined element and free of the alkyl group to the substrate.
