Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method including supplying a first reactant to inside a processing chamber into which a substrate has been introduced; controlling a flow of a first purge gas and storing the first purge gas, of which flow has been controlled, in a first storage for a given time period; supplying the first purge gas from the first storage to the inside of the processing chamber after supplying the first reactant; and supplying a second reactant to the inside of the processing chamber after supplying the first purge gas.

Claims (16)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:

supplying a first reactant to inside a processing chamber into which a substrate has been introduced;

controlling, with a first valve, a flow of a first purge gas into a first storage and storing the first purge gas, of which flow has been controlled with the first valve, in the first storage for a given time period;

supplying the first purge gas from the first storage to the inside of the processing chamber by opening a second valve between the first storage and the processing chamber after supplying the first reactant;

supplying a second reactant to the inside of the processing chamber after supplying the first purge gas; and

supplying an auxiliary purge gas to the inside of the processing chamber,

wherein supplying the auxiliary purge gas is performed simultaneously with the supplying of the first reactant, the supplying of the first purge gas, and the supplying of the second reactant.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling a flow of a second purge gas and storing the second purge gas, of which flow has been controlled, in a second storage for a given time period; and

supplying the second purge gas from the second storage to the inside of the processing chamber after supplying the second reactant.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising supplying the second purge gas from the second storage prior to supplying the first reactant.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first purge gas and the second purge gas include a same material and are supplied to the inside of the processing chamber after being stored in a same storage.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first purge gas is supplied for a shorter time period than each of the supplying of the first reactant and the supplying of the second reactant.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an amount of the auxiliary purge gas supplied to the inside the processing chamber substantially remains constant over time.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first purge gas and the auxiliary purge gas include a same material.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a flow of the auxiliary purge gas supplied during the supplying of the first reactant and the supplying of the second reactant has a smaller value than a total flow of the first purge gas and the auxiliary gas supplied during the supplying of the first purge gas.
