1. A deposit removing method of removing a deposit deposited on a surface of a pattern formed on a substrate in an etching process, the deposit removing method comprising:
performing an oxygen plasma process of exposing the substrate to oxygen plasma while heating the substrate; and performing a cycle process in which, after the performing of the oxygen plasma process, the substrate is exposed to an atmosphere of a mixture gas of a hydrogen fluoride gas and an alcohol gas within a processing chamber, and a first period during which a total pressure of the mixture gas or a partial pressure of the alcohol gas is set to be a first total pressure or a first partial pressure of the alcohol gas and a second period during which the total pressure of the mixture gas or the partial pressure of the alcohol gas is set to be a second total pressure lower than the first total pressure or a second partial pressure of the alcohol gas lower than the first partial pressure of the alcohol gas by evacuating the processing chamber are repeated multiple cycles, wherein in the performing of the cycle process, the mixture gas is supplied to the substrate from a region facing the substrate, and a supply amount of the mixture gas per a unit area from a circular first region including a central portion of the substrate and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the substrate is set to be larger than a supply amount of the mixture gas per a unit area from an annular second region at an outside of the first region. |
