ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method of film deposition that comprises a film-depositing step of supplying a high-melting-point organometallic material gas and a nitrogen-containing gas to a processing vessel that can be evacuated, so as to deposit a thin film of a metallic compound of a high-melting-point metal on a surface of an object to be processed placed in the processing vessel. A partial pressure of the nitrogen-containing gas during the film-depositing step is 17% or lower, in order to increase carbon density contained in the thin film.
