Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber; a substrate support disposed in the chamber; a gas supply that supplies a gas into the chamber; and a controller that controls an overall operation of the substrate processing apparatus. The controller executes a process including: (a) placing a substrate on the substrate support, the substrate including an etching layer and a patterned mask on the etching layer; (b) forming a film on the patterned mask; (c) forming a reaction layer on the film; and (d) removing the reaction layer by applying energy to the reaction layer. In the step (c) a temperature of the substrate is set according to a thickness of the reaction layer to be formed.
