Abstract
There is provided a technique that includes: a first nozzle arranged to correspond to a first region where a plurality of product substrates are arranged in a substrate arrangement region where a plurality of substrates are arranged in a reaction tube, the first nozzle supplying a hydrogen-containing gas into the reaction tube; a second nozzle arranged to correspond to the first region and supplying an oxygen-containing gas into the reaction tube; a third nozzle arranged closer to the bottom opening than the first region to correspond to a second region where a dummy substrate or a heat insulator or both is arranged, the third nozzle supplying a dilution gas into the reaction tube; and a controller configured to be capable of controlling the hydrogen-containing gas and the dilution gas so that a concentration of the hydrogen-containing gas in the second region is lower than that in the first region.
