Abstract

See full text

A cleaning method includes: removing deposits adhered to an inside of a processing vessel by forming a film on a substrate in the processing vessel, and thereafter, supplying a cleaning gas into the processing vessel, wherein the removing the deposits includes: a first step of supplying the cleaning gas into the processing vessel at a first flow rate when a temperature of a connection portion connecting an exhaust pipe that exhausts the interior of the processing vessel and the processing vessel is lower than a first temperature; and a second step of supplying the cleaning gas to the processing vessel while gradually decreasing the flow rate of the cleaning gas from the first flow rate to a second flow rate lower than the first flow rate when the temperature of the connection portion reaches a first temperature.
