Abstract:
A method for depositing a silicon nitride film is provided to fill a recessed pattern formed in a surface of a substrate. In the method, a first adsorption blocking region is formed by adsorbing first chlorine radicals such that an amount of adsorption increases upward from a bottom portion of the recessed pattern. A source gas that contains silicon and chlorine adsorbs on an adsorption site where the first adsorption site is not formed. A molecular layer of a silicon nitride film is deposited so as to have a V-shaped cross section. A second adsorption blocking region is formed by adsorbing second chlorine radicals on the molecular layer of the silicon nitride film. The molecular layer of the silicon nitride film is modified by nitriding the molecular layer while removing the second adsorption blocking region.

Claim (Index 2):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the steps of forming the first adsorption blocking region, adsorbing the source gas and depositing the molecular layer is made a film deposition process, and the steps of forming the second adsorption blocking region and modifying the molecular layer are made a modification process, and\n wherein a cycle of performing the film deposition process one time and the modification process a predetermined number of times of one or more consecutively is made one cycle, and wherein the one cycle is repeated a plurality of cycles.
