Abstract

A thin film is formed on a substrate in a film-forming apparatus which has upper and lower electrodes between which radio-frequency power is applied in a processing chamber, and a heater is used to heat the lower electrode on which the substrate is loaded. In one lot, at least one substrate is processed. The electrode is heated at the end of a stand-by period between lots and before starting the film-forming process.
