A film formation method includes (A) to (C) below: (A) preparing a substrate including, on a surface of the substrate, a first region from which an insulating film is exposed and a second region from which a metal film is exposed; (B) forming a self-assembled monolayer in the second region by supplying an organic compound containing a nitro group, which is a raw material of the self-assembled monolayer, in a head group to the surface of the substrate, and selectively adsorbing the organic compound to the second region among the first region and the second region; and (C) forming a second insulating film in the first region by supplying a raw material gas as a raw material of the second insulating film to the surface of the substrate while formation of the second insulating film in the second region is inhibited by the self-assembled monolayer.

Selective film formation using self-assembled monolayer

A film formation method includes (A) to (C) below. (A) Providing a substrate including, on a surface of the substrate, a first region in which a first material is exposed and a second region in which a second material different from the first material is exposed. (B) Supplying, to the surface of the substrate, vapor of a solution that contains a raw material of a self-assembled monolayer and a solvent by which the raw material is dissolved, and selectively forming a self-assembled monolayer in the first region. (C) Forming a desired target film in the second region by using the self-assembled monolayer formed in the first region.
