Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first insulating film on a substrate, forming a second insulating film on the first insulating film, and forming a gate electrode on the second insulating film. Forming the second insulating film includes supplying film-forming materials and adsorbing the film-forming materials on the first insulating film, purging the film-forming materials that have not been adsorbed, supplying oxidants to oxidize the adsorbed film-forming materials, and purging the oxidants that have not contributed to oxidization. Forming the second insulating film is repeated in cycles, continuously, and the purging time of the oxidants in an initial number of the cycles is longer than the purging time of the oxidants in cycles following the initial number of cycles.
