  • Publication number: 20090142475
    Abstract: A film depositing apparatus includes: a chamber in which a substrate is disposed; a gas introducing portion for introducing a reactive gas into the chamber; a gas exhausting portion for exhausting the reactive gas from the chamber; and a control portion for controlling particle exhausting processing for exhausting particles within the chamber from the gas exhausting portion either in a middle of depositing a film on the substrate disposed within the chamber in accordance with a reaction based on the reactive gas, or in a stage of completion of the film deposition. The control portion carries out the control in a way that as the particle exhausting processing performed in a phase of film deposition, the reactive gas is introduced into the chamber at a flow rate more than that in the phase of the film deposition, and is exhausted from the gas exhausting portion.
