See full text

A film forming apparatus includes: a pressure-reducible processing container; a pressure gauge configured to detect a pressure in the processing container; and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to repeat a cycle including a step of adjusting a zero point of the pressure gauge and a step of executing a film forming process in the processing container until an ultimate pressure, which is detected by the pressure gauge when an interior of the processing container is evacuated to a highest reachable vacuum degree after the step of executing the film forming process, reaches a target range.
