Abstract
[Object] To make it difficult for components other than films to be contained in a lamination interface. [Solving Means] In a deposition apparatus, a vacuum chamber includes a partition wall which defines a plasma formation space and includes quartz. An deposition preventive plate is provided between at least a part of the partition wall and the plasma formation space and includes at least one of yttria, silicon nitride, or silicon carbide. On a support stage, a substrate including a trench or hole including a bottom portion and a side wall is capable of being disposed. A plasma generation source generates first plasma of deposition gas including silicon introduced into the plasma formation space to thereby form a semiconductor film including silicon on the bottom portion and the side wall. The plasma generation source generates second plasma of etching gas including halogen introduced into the plasma formation space to thereby selectively remove the semiconductor film formed on the side wall. A controller is capable of switching between generation of the first plasma and generation of the second plasma.
