Abstract

The present invention relates to an internal chamber processing method, and more particularly, to an internal chamber processing method for performing processing on a chamber and a component inside the chamber. Disclosed is an internal chamber processing method for processing the inside of a chamber in which substrate processing is performed, the method including a pressurizing operation (S100) of raising a pressure inside a chamber to a first pressure (P1) higher than the atmospheric pressure by using a pressurized gas and a depressurizing operation of lowering the pressure inside the chamber from the first pressure (P1) to a second pressure (P2) after the pressurizing operation (S100). The pressurizing operation (S100) and the depressurizing operation (S200) are performed in a state in which a substrate to be processed is removed from the inside of the chamber.
