Abstract
A method for depositing a silicon-containing film is performed by causing a silicon-containing gas to adsorb on a first surface of a depression formed in a second surface of a substrate by supplying the silicon-containing gas to the substrate. A silicon component contained in the silicon-containing gas adsorbed on the first surface of the depression is partially etched by supplying an etching gas to the substrate. A silicon-containing film is deposited in the depression by supplying a reaction gas reactable with the silicon component to the substrate so as to produce a reaction product by causing the reaction gas to react with the silicon component left in the depression without being etched.
