A processing apparatus includes a processing vessel, a gas introduction unit, a processing gas supply unit, a nonreactive gas supply unit, a vacuum pumping unit, a pressure gauge and a control unit. The control unit controls a valve opening ratio of a pressure control valve based on a detection value of the pressure gauge while making a processing gas flow to a flow rate controller of the processing gas supply unit at a constant flow rate when performing a process in which a partial pressure of the processing gas is important. Meanwhile, when performing a process wherein the partial pressure of the processing gas is relatively unimportant, the control unit fixes the valve opening ratio of the pressure control valve at a predetermined value, and operating a flow rate controller of the nonreactive gas supply unit to control a flow rate based on the detection value.
