Abstract

See full text

A method for depositing a silicon nitride film is provided. A nitrided adsorption site is formed in a recess formed in a surface of a substrate by supplying an ammonia-containing gas to the substrate for nitriding the surface of the substrate including the recess. A non-adsorption site is formed in a predetermined upper area of the recess by adsorbing a chlorine-containing gas on the nitride adsorption site in the predetermined upper area by physical adsorption. The predetermined upper area ranges from an upper end of the recess to a predetermined depth of the recess. A silicon-containing gas is adsorbed on the nitride adsorption site other than the predetermined upper area so as to deposit a silicon nitride film by a chemical reaction between the adsorbed ammonia-containing gas and the adsorbed silicon-containing gas. The nitride adsorption site includes a bottom surface of the recess.
