Abstract
A method of forming a tungsten film in a penetration portion provided in a film formed on a surface of a base so as to expose the surface of the base includes: forming a barrier metal film made of a nitride of a transition metal in the penetration portion such that the barrier metal film formed on the exposed surface of the base is thicker than the barrier metal film formed on a side wall of the penetration portion; and selectively forming the tungsten film on the exposed surface of the base by supplying a tungsten chloride gas and a reducing gas for reducing the tungsten chloride gas to the penetration portion.
