Abstract: A method for depositing a silicon-containing film is performed by causing a silicon-containing gas to adsorb on a first surface of a depression formed in a second surface of a substrate by supplying the silicon-containing gas to the substrate. A silicon component contained in the silicon-containing gas adsorbed on the first surface of the depression is partially etched by supplying an etching gas to the substrate. A silicon-containing film is deposited in the depression by supplying a reaction gas reactable with the silicon component to the substrate so as to produce a reaction product by causing the reaction gas to react with the silicon component left in the depression without being etched.

Abstract: A job management unit manages a registered job by associating the job with an identifier specific to the job and reports a request to execute the job and the identifier associated with the job to a job execution unit on an execution date and time of the job; and the job execution unit manages a generation file of a next generation, which is created by executing the job, by associating the generation file with the identifier reported together with the request to execute the job from the job management unit; and if the generation file associated with the identifier reported together with the execution request already exists when executing the job based on the execution request from the job management unit, the job execution unit executes designated operation.
