Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus is provided with a reaction chamber (201), a substrate rotating mechanism (267) for rotating a wafer (200), and a gas supplying part for supplying the wafer (200) with gas. At least two types of gases A and B are alternately supplied a plurality of times, and a desired film is formed on the wafer (200). A control part (321) is provided to control a rotation cycle of the wafer (200) so as not to synchronize a gas supply cycle, which is prescribed by a period between a time when the gas A is flowed and a time when the gas A is flowed subsequently, with the rotation cycle of the wafer (200), at least for a time the alternate gas supply is performed prescribed times. The thickness uniformity of a film formed by an ALD method within the substrate plane is prevented from deteriorating.
