Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a film on a substrate in a process chamber, and removing a deposit from at least a portion of an inside of the process chamber after forming the film, wherein removing the deposit includes performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including a first process of supplying a first gas for etching the deposit into the process chamber and a second process of supplying a second gas into the process chamber so as to increase a pressure in the process chamber, the second gas being incapable of etching a member constituting the process chamber or having an etchability against the member lower than that of the first gas.
