Abstract
According to one aspect of the technique of the present disclosure, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including: (a) providing a semiconductor processing apparatus including a substrate process chamber, a coil and a substrate support; (b) placing a target substrate with a concave structure of a silicon film on a substrate support, wherein a deteriorated layer is formed on an inner surface of the concave structure by deterioration of a surface layer of the silicon film due to an etching process; (c) supplying an oxygen-containing gas into the substrate process chamber; (d) applying a high frequency power to the coil to generate plasma of the oxygen-containing gas; and (e) oxidizing, by the plasma, a surface of the silicon film exposed in the concave structure wherein the deteriorated layer is formed on the surface.
