Abstract

A selective growth method of selectively growing a thin film on an underlayer, on which an insulating film and a conductive film are exposed, includes: preparing a workpiece having the underlayer on which the insulating film and the conductive film are exposed; and selectively growing a silicon-based insulating film on the insulating film by repeating a plurality of times a first step of adsorbing an aminosilane-based gas onto the insulating film and the conductive film and a second step of supplying a reaction gas for reacting with the adsorbed aminosilane-based gas to form the silicon-based insulating film, wherein the conductive film is vaporized by reaction with the reaction gas so that the conductive film is reduced in thickness.
