Abstract

A film formation method for a semiconductor process for forming a silicon oxynitride film on a target substrate within a reaction chamber includes a step of performing a pre-process on members inside the reaction chamber without the target substrate loaded therein, and a step of then forming a silicon oxynitride film on the target substrate within the reaction chamber. The pre-process is arranged to supply a pre-process gas containing a nitriding gas or oxynitriding gas into the reaction chamber, and setting an interior of the reaction chamber at a first temperature and a first pressure.
