Abstract:
1. A substrate processing apparatus comprising: a processing vessel adapted to accommodate a substrate therein to process the substrate with a mixed gaseous fluid containing water vapor and ozone-containing gas supplied into the processing vessel; an ozone generator adapted to generate an ozone-containing gas to be supplied into the processing vessel, by applying electric discharge to oxygen gas; a component member of said processing apparatus placed in the processing vessel; a heater adapted to heat an interior of the processing vessel; and a controller configured to control the heater to maintain the interior of the processing vessel at a temperature in a range of 80°C. to 120°C. when the substrate is being processed in the processing vessel by using the water vapor and the ozone-containing gas, wherein an inner surface, to be exposed to the mixed gaseous fluid, of the processing vessel or a surface, to be exposed to the mixed gaseous fluid, of the component member is coated with a SiO wherein said apparatus does not include means for generating a plasma in the processing vessel, and the substrate processing apparatus, wherein the SiO
