Abstract

In a substrate processing apparatus for performing a plasma process on a substrate including a tungsten-containing film, cleaning is performed for a process chamber. This cleaning includes, after the plasma process, supplying a gas containing O2 into the process chamber without setting the process chamber opened to the atmosphere, and generating plasma of the gas to clean the process chamber.
