Abstract

A method for cleaning a process chamber of a processing apparatus including the process chamber and a gas supply mechanism. The gas supply mechanism includes a flow splitter, a first flow path communicating with an upstream end of the flow splitter, a first valve provided in the first flow path, a second flow path communicating with a downstream end of the flow splitter and connected to the process chamber, a second valve provided in the second flow path, a bypass flow path connecting the first flow path and the second flow path, and a bypass valve provided in the bypass flow path. The method includes a step of closing the first valve and the second valve and opening the bypass valve, and a step of cleaning the process chamber by introducing a gas through the bypass flow path into the process chamber after opening the bypass valve.
