Abstract

See full text

A method for using a system, which includes a film formation apparatus for forming a high-dielectric constant thin film on target substrates together and a gas supply apparatus for supplying a process gas. The method includes a preparatory stage of determining a set pressure range of pressure inside a vaporizing chamber for a liquid material cooled at a set temperature. The preparatory stage includes obtaining a first limit value of pressure at which vaporization of the liquid material starts being inhibited due to an increase in the pressure, obtaining a second limit value of pressure at which vaporization of the liquid material starts being unstable and the pressure starts pulsating movement due to a decrease in the pressure, and determining the set pressure range to be defined by an upper limit lower than the first limit value and a lower limit higher than the second limit value.
