Abstract

There is provided a technique having a process that includes forming a film, which contains a first element and a second element on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle sequentially performing: (a) supplying a first precursor gas containing the first element to the substrate in a process chamber; (b) supplying a second precursor gas, which contains the first element and has a pyrolysis temperature lower than a pyrolysis temperature of the first precursor gas, to the substrate; and (c) supplying a reaction gas, which contains the second element that is different from the first element, to the substrate.

         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first layer has no adsorption site on which the first element is adsorbed. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first precursor gas contains a halogen element, and
 wherein bonding hands other than bonding hands adsorbed on a surface of the substrate, among a plurality of bonding hands of atoms of the first element constituting the first layer, are terminated by atoms of the halogen element.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein halosilane-based gases different from each other are used as the first precursor gas and the second precursor gas, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein in the first precursor gas, a number of atoms of the first element contained in one molecule is one.
