A cleaning method of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus begins by introducing film forming gas include reaction gas not forming a film by itself to reaction chamber to form the film on a semiconductor substrate, decreasing pressure of the reaction chamber, solidifying or liquefying the reaction gas to form particles by using small-particles in the reaction chamber as cores, and exhausting the particles from the reaction chamber. Using this method, foreign small-particles can easily be removed from the apparatus and suppress any possible contamination of semiconductor substrates to be processed.
