Film forming method and film forming apparatus

Abstract

A method of forming a SiOC-based film includes: preparing a substrate; forming a SiC-based film on the substrate by using a carbon precursor made of a carbon-containing gas and a silicon precursor made of a silicon-containing gas; forming the SiOC-based film by performing oxidation process on the SiC-based film on the substrate; and performing a processing with plasma of a gas containing a Hgas on the SiOC-based film on the substrate, wherein the forming the SiC-based film is performed before the SiC-based film has a first given film thickness, the forming the SiC-based film and the forming the SiOC-based film by the oxidation process are executed once or multiple times before the SiOC-based film has a second given film thickness, and an operation of forming the SiOC-based film to have the second given film thickness and the performing the processing with the plasma are executed once or multiple times.
