ABSTRACT:
A method for using a film formation apparatus includes, in order to inhibit metal contamination: performing a cleaning process using a cleaning gas on an inner wall of a process container and a surface of a holder with no productive target objects held thereon; and then, performing a coating process of forming a silicon nitride film by alternately supplying a silicon source gas and a nitriding gas to cover with the silicon nitride film the inner wall of the process container and the surface of the holder with no productive target objects held thereon.
