Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of depositing a film is provided. In the method, a first process gas and a second process gas that react with each other is sequentially supplied to cause an atomic layer or a molecular layer of a reaction product of the first process gas and the second process gas to deposit on a substrate in a chamber by repeating a cycle of sequentially supplying the first process gas and the second process gas to the substrate once each cycle. A cycle time of the cycle is set equal to or shorter than 0.5 seconds.
