ABSTRACT:
A film forming method comprising: supplying a reactive gas comprising a compound including a metal atom between facing electrodes; arranging a substrate between the electrodes; making the reactive gas in a plasma state by applying a voltage between the electrodes under atmospheric pressure or under a pressure in a vicinity of the atmospheric pressure and discharging; and forming a metal film on a surface of the substrate by supplying a reducing gas having a reducing property into a plasma atmosphere in which the reactive gas in the plasma state exists.
