Abstract:
There is provided heating method for heating a substrate having a germanium film or a silicon germanium film formed on a surface of the substrate, the method including: loading the substrate kept in an air atmosphere at least a predetermined time into a processing container; and heating the substrate in a state in which an interior of the processing container is kept in a hydrogen gas-containing atmosphere.

Claim (Index 9):
A film forming apparatus for forming a high dielectric constant film on a substrate having a germanium film or a silicon germanium film formed on a surface of the substrate, the apparatus comprising:\n a processing container configured to accommodate the substrate having the germanium film or the silicon germanium film formed on the substrate; a gas supply part configured to supply a predetermined gas for forming the high dielectric constant film into the processing container; a heater configured to heat an interior of the processing container; an exhaust mechanism configured to evacuate the interior of the processing container to bring the processing container into a depressurized state; and a controller configured to control the gas supply part, the heater and the exhaust mechanism, wherein the controller controls a pressure of the interior of the processing container to a predetermined depressurized state using the exhaust mechanism, controls a temperature of the interior of the processing container to a predetermined temperature using the heater, and controls gas supply from the gas supply part so that the interior of the processing container is kept in a predetermined hydrogen gas-containing atmosphere during at least a time period in which a temperature of the substrate reaches a film formation temperature of the high dielectric constant film.
