Abstract
There is provided a method for forming a metal film on a target substrate having a complex-shaped portion and a flat portion, the target substrate being loaded into a chamber which is maintained under a depressurized atmosphere, by sequentially supplying a metal chloride gas as a raw material gas and a reduction gas for reducing a metal chloride into the chamber while purging the chamber in the course of sequentially supplying the metal chloride gas and the reduction gas, the method including: forming a first metal film by supplying the metal chloride gas at a relatively low flow rate; and forming a second metal film by supply the metal chloride gas at a relatively high flow rate.
