Patent ID: 8497192

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: conveying a first substrate provided with an opposing surface including insulator regions and a semiconductor region exposed between the insulator regions and a second substrate provided with an insulator surface exposed toward the opposing surface of the first substrate, into a process chamber in a state that the second substrate is arranged to face the opposing surface of the first substrate; selectively forming a silicon-containing film with a flat surface at least on the semiconductor region of the opposing surface of the first substrate by heating an inside of the process chamber and supplying at least a silicon-containing gas and a chlorine-containing gas into the process chamber; and wherein selectively forming a silicon-containing film includes causing a material formed by decomposition of the silicon-containing gas and the chlorine-containing gas in a gaseous layer within the process chamber to be adsorbed to at least a rear surface of the second substrate and the semiconductor region of the first substrate.
