Abstract:
A substrate processing method includes a first process of supplying a first gas to a substrate; and a second process of supplying a second gas to the substrate after the first process. When a distance from an edge of the substrate to a boundary between a processing space and a gas exhaust space is L, a cross sectional area of a space orthogonal to a flow of the second gas is S(x), a supply flow rate of the second gas is Q, a pressure within the processing space is P and a diffusion coefficient of the first gas to the second gas is D, at least one of the distance L, the cross sectional area S(x) and the supply flow rate Q in the second process is adjusted such that a Peclet number Pe calculated by expression (3) becomes larger than 1. [ Expression 3 ] Pe = Q D · P ∫ 0 L 1 S ( x ) dx ( 3 )
