Abstract:
In a substrate processing method for processing a substrate by alternately performing a processing gas supply step of supplying a processing gas for processing the substrate into a processing chamber which accommodates the substrate and to which a gas exhaust line is connected and a replacement gas supply step of supplying a replacement gas for replacing an atmosphere in the processing chamber into the processing chamber multiple times, a ballast gas is introduced into the gas exhaust line when the processing gas supply step is performed.

Claim (Index 8):
The substrate processing apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the substrate is processed by ALD,\n a metal-containing gas serving as the processing gas, the replacement gas, a reduction gas serving as the processing gas and the replacement gas are supplied in that order into the processing chamber multiple times, and the ballast gas introducing unit introduces the ballast gas only when the reducing gas serving as the processing gas is supplied.
