A method for using an apparatus configured to form a germanium-containing film includes performing a first film formation process for forming a first product film containing germanium by CVD on a product target object placed inside a reaction container, a first cleaning process for etching the film formation by-product, a second cleaning process for removing residual germanium from inside the reaction container, and a second film formation process for forming a second product film containing no germanium by CVD on a product target object placed inside the reaction container, in this order. The second cleaning process is performed by exhausting gas from inside the reaction container with no product target object placed therein, supplying a second cleaning gas containing an oxidizing gas and hydrogen gas into the reaction container, and heating an interior of the reaction container thereby activating the second cleaning gas. |
