Abstract

Before an HSG-Si film is formed, silicon films are pre-coated on the inner wall of a reaction chamber (12) for forming the HSG-Si film on a wafer (14) and in a boat (25) which is used for accommodate and support the wafer (14) in the reaction chamber (12), and then the wafer (14) is fed into the pre-coated reaction chamber (12) to form the HSG-Si film in the state that impurities on the wafer (14) have been removed. By pre-coating the silicon films, the impurities such as water, oxygen, hydrocarbon and organic materials can be removed, and a surface area increase rate of the HSG-Si film formed on the wafer (14) can be improved.
