    Abstract: A purging method for purging an interior of a processing container of a substrate processing apparatus after a film forming process is executed on a wafer in the processing container, includes a first process of pressurizing a first gas in a first line of the substrate processing apparatus and then discharging the first gas into the processing container, and a second process of supplying a second gas into the processing container. The second process is executed after execution of the first process, the first gas includes an inert gas, and the second gas includes a hydrogen gas, a nitrogen-containing gas, a rare gas or a combination of these gases.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of removing a silicon oxide film of a workpiece having an insulating film and the silicon oxide film exposed at a bottom portion of an opening formed in the insulating film, including: forming a protective film containing carbon on a surface of the workpiece, wherein the protective film has a first region extending along a side wall surface of the insulating film that defines the opening and a second region extending on the silicon oxide film: removing the second region of the protective film and the silicon oxide film by sputter etching with ions from plasma of a first inert gas; and removing a residue of the silicon oxide film by chemical etching. The step of forming the protective film includes executing a plurality of cycles.

    Abstract: A TiN film forming method repeatedly performs for a plurality of substrates to be processed, a step of loading each substrate into a processing chamber, supplying a Ti-containing gas and a nitriding gas into the processing chamber, and forming a TiN film on a surface of the substrate by generating a plasma of the supplied gases. The TiN film forming method includes a Ti film forming step of forming a Ti film by supplying a processing gas containing Ti-containing gas into the processing chamber in a state where no substrate exists in the processing chamber after the TiN films are formed on a predetermined number of the substrates.

    Abstract: When forming a TiN film to be formed as a metallic hard mask for etching a film formed on a substrate to be processed, a first step and a second step are repeated a plurality of times to form a TiN film having reduced film stress. In the first step (step 1), the substrate to be processed is conveyed into a processing chamber, TiCl4 gas and a nitriding gas are fed into the processing chamber, the interior of which being kept in a depressurized state during this time, and a plasma from the gases is generated to form a TiN unit film. In the second step (step 2), a nitriding gas is fed into the processing container, a plasma of the gas is generated, and the TiN unit film is subjected to plasma nitriding.

    Abstract: There is provided a stress reducing method comprising: preparing a film forming apparatus configured to form a tungsten film on a substrate in a chamber by supplying a tungsten raw material gas and a reducing gas into the chamber; and making at least a part of a tungsten film deposited on an in-chamber component into a chlorine-containing tungsten film whose film stress is reduced by adjusting a chlorine concentration, when performing pre-coating in the chamber and/or when forming the tungsten film on the substrate, using the tungsten raw material gas and the reducing gas.
