Abstract

A vaporizing apparatus has a vaporizing container into which a liquid raw material is introduced and which is made of metal, a heater for heating the vaporizing container to vaporize liquid introduced into the vaporizing container and a metal nozzle (an electrode) disposed in the vaporizing container in such a manner that the nozzle is electrically insulated from the vaporizing container. Moreover, the vaporizing apparatus has a cleaning-solution supply apparatus for supplying, to the inside portion of the vaporizing container, a cleaning solution for solving residues generated in the vaporizing container and a plasma generating power source for supplying high-frequency electric power to a position between the nozzle and the vaporizing container to generate plasma in the vaporizing container by using the vaporized cleaning solution.
