ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method of determining a set temperature profile of a method of controlling respective substrate temperatures of plurality of groups in accordance with respective corresponding set temperature profiles. The invention includes a first heat processing step of controlling respective substrate temperatures of a plurality of groups in accordance with respective predetermined provisional set temperature profiles for first-batch substrates that are classified into the plurality of groups, and of introducing a process gas to conduct a heat process to form films on the substrates; a first film-thickness measuring step of measuring a thickness of the films formed on the substrates; and a first set-temperature-profile amending step of respectively amending the provisional set temperature profiles based on the measured thickness, in such a manner that a thickness of films formed during a heat process is substantially the same between the plurality of groups.
