An atomic layer growing apparatus includes a film forming chamber (101) in which the vapor phase growth of a film is performed, a substrate table (102) having a heating mechanism accommodated in the film forming chamber (101), and an exhaust mechanism (104). The atomic layer growing apparatus also includes a material supply unit (105) including a material vaporizer (151), two buffer tanks, i.e., a buffer tank A (152a) and buffer tank B (152b), a fill valve A (153a) and supply valve A (154a) of the buffer tank A (152a), a fill valve B (153b) and supply valve B (154b) of the buffer tank B (152b), an injection control valve (155), and a control unit (156) which controls the opening/closing of each valve.
