Deposit removing method and substrate processing method

摘要

A deposit removing method that can reliably remove deposit produced in plasma processing using plasma produced from a process gas containing methane gas and oxygen gas. In a chamber in which an electrode to which radio frequency electrical power is supplied is disposed, plasma processing is carried out on a substrate using the plasma produced from the process gas containing methane gas and oxygen gas, and then a cleaning step is carried out in which plasma is produced from a mixed gas containing fluorinated compound gas containing hydrogen in the chamber.
