Abstract

A semiconductor manufacturing method and a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing semiconductor devices without the need of specifically determining an optimal configuration of a gas mixing chamber (6) with care or elaboration. A ruthenium raw gas feed pipe (4) and an oxygen-containing gas feed pipe (5) are merged with each other at a location upstream of a gas mixing chamber (6), so that the ruthenium raw gas and the gas containing oxygen atoms (e.g., oxygen (O2), ozone (O3), etc.) are mixed with each other prior to entering the gas mixing chamber (6).
