Abstract

A method for depositing a silicon nitride film is provided. In the method, an adsorption blocking region is formed such that a chlorine-containing gas conformally adsorbs on a surface of a substrate by adsorbing chlorine radicals on the surface of the substrate. A source gas that contains silicon and chlorine is adsorbed on the adsorption blocking region adsorbed on the surface of the substrate. A silicon nitride film is deposited on the surface of the substrate by supplying a nitriding gas activated by plasma to the source gas adsorbed on the surface of the substrate.
