Abstract

A thin film forming method includes the steps of supporting a semiconductor substrate having a trench or unevenness thereon in a reaction vessel, introducing a reactive gas into the reaction vessel, activating the reactive gas to form a deposit species, exhausting the interior of the reaction vessel, and cooling the semiconductor substrate below the liquid faction temperature of the deposit species to cause the deposit species to become a material deposited on the semiconductor substrate.
