Patent number: 11107698Abstract: An oxygen concentration is lowered in accordance with a set lowering process, and thereafter a heat treatment is performed. Accordingly, the heat treatment is performed to a substrate W while the oxygen concentration in a heat treating space HS is lowered. Consequently, a treatment atmosphere within the heat treating space is able to be made suitable for a heat treatment process, leading to appropriate film deposition. In addition, the oxygen concentration is lowered in accordance with a concentration level in recipes. This avoids an excessively lowered oxygen concentration, leading to prevention of reduced throughput.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Inventors: Chisayo Nakayama, Yuji Tanaka, Masahiko Harumoto, Masaya Asai, Yasuhiro Fukumoto, Tomohiro Matsuo, Takeharu Ishii
