A single-substrate-heat-processing method performs a reformation process for a tantalum oxide film on a wafer and a crystallization process for this film in this order. In the reformation process and crystallization process, a heater is set at preset temperatures substantially equal to each other, and a pressure in a process chamber is set at first and second process pressures different from each other. A density of a gas present between a support surface and the wafer is changed by using the pressure in the process chamber as a parameter, and thus a heat transfer rate between the support surface and wafer is changed, thereby setting a wafer temperature at first and second process temperatures different from each other.
