摘要 |
The invention is an oxidizing method for an object to be processed, the oxidizing method including: an arranging step of arranging a plurality of objects to be processed in a processing container whose inside can be vacuumed, the processing container having a predetermined length, a supplying unit of an oxidative gas and a supplying unit of a reducing gas being provided at the processing container, each of the plurality of objects to be processed having an exposed silicon layer and an exposed tungsten layer; an active-species forming step of supplying the oxidative gas and the reducing gas into the processing container, causing the both gases to react on each other under a reduced pressure, and generating active oxygen species and active hydroxyl species in the processing container; and an oxidizing step of oxidizing surfaces of the silicon layers of the plurality of objects to be processed by means of the active species.
