Abstract:
A film deposition method includes rotating a rotary table by a first angle while supplying a separation gas from a separation gas supplying part and a first reaction gas from a first gas supplying part; supplying a second reaction gas from a second gas supplying part and rotating the rotary table by a second angle while supplying the separation gas from the separation gas supplying part and the first reaction gas from the first gas supplying part; rotating the rotary table by a third angle while supplying the separation gas from the separation gas supplying part and the first reaction gas from the first gas supplying part; and supplying a third reaction gas from the second gas supplying part and rotating the rotary table by a fourth angle while supplying the separation gas and the first reaction gas.
Abstract:
A method of detoxifying an exhaust pipe in a film forming apparatus configured to supply a raw material gas contending a harmful component and a reaction gas capable of generating a harmless reaction product by reaction with the raw material gas into a process chamber to perform a film forming process on a substrate while independently exhausting the raw material gas and the reaction gas from a raw material exhaust pipe and a reaction gas exhaust pipe connected to the process chamber, respectively, is provided. The method includes supplying the reaction gas into the raw material exhaust pipe to detoxify an interior of the raw material exhaust pipe during a predetermined period in which the film forming apparatus is operated and the film forming process is not performed.

Abstract:
A substrate processing method is provided. In the method, a plurality of substrates is placed on a plurality of substrate holding areas provided in a surface of a turntable at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction, the turntable being provided in a processing chamber. Next, the turntable on which the plurality of substrates is placed is rotated. Then, a fluid is supplied to the surface of the turntable while rotating the turntable. Here, the fluid is supplied to an area between the plurality of substrate holding areas in response to an operation of changing a flow rate of the fluid.
Abstract:
A nozzle for supplying a fluid includes a tubular part including a tubular passage thereinside and a fluid discharge surface having a plurality of fluid discharge holes formed therein along a lengthwise direction of the tubular passage. A partition plate is provided in the tubular passage and extends along the lengthwise direction so as to partition the tubular passage into a first area including the fluid discharge surface and a second area without the fluid discharge surface. The partition plate has distribution holes whose number is less than a number of the plurality of fluid discharge holes in the lengthwise direction. A fluid introduction passage is in communication with the second area.
