Abstract:
1. A fluorine-containing carbon film forming method of forming a fluorine-containing carbon film on a to-be-processed substrate, comprising: a first process of carrying out plasma excitation of a rare gas, and carrying out a surface treatment of the to-be-processed substrate with the use of the thus-plasma-excited rare gas with a substrate processing apparatus; and a second process of forming the fluorine-containing carbon film on the to-be-processed substrate having undergone the surface treatment in said first process, wherein: in said substrate processing apparatus, a microwave transmitting window is provided to face the to-be-processed substrate, microwaves are introduced in a process space above the to-be-processed substrate via the microwave window from a microwave antenna electrically connected to a microwave power source and provided on the microwave transmitting window, and plasma excitation of a plasma gas including the rare gas is carried out.
