Abstract

At a time of a substrate loading step or/and at a time of a substrate unloading step, particles are effectively eliminated from a reaction chamber.Provided are a step of loading at least one wafer 200 into a reaction chamber 201, a step of introducing reaction gas into the reaction chamber 201, and exhausting an inside of the reaction chamber 201, thereby processing the wafer 200, and a step of unloading the processed wafer 200 from the reaction chamber 201. In the step of loading the wafer 200 or/and in the step of unloading the wafer 200, the inside of the reaction chamber 201 is exhausted at a larger exhaust flow rate than an exhaust flow rate in the step of processing the wafer 200.
