Abstract

A CVD method for forming a silicon nitride film includes exhausting a process chamber (8) that accommodates a target substrate (W), and supplying a silane family gas (HCD) and ammonia gas (NH3) into the process chamber, thereby forming a silicon nitride film on the target substrate by CVD. Said forming a silicon nitride film on the target substrate alternately includes a first period of performing supply of the silane family gas (HCD) into the process chamber (8), and a second period of stopping supply of the silane family gas.
