A method of using a film formation apparatus for a semiconductor process includes processing by a cleaning gas a by-product film deposited on an inner surface of a reaction chamber of the film formation apparatus. This step is arranged to supply the cleaning gas into the reaction chamber, and set an interior of the reaction chamber at a first temperature and a first pressure. The by-product film mainly contains a high-dielectric-constant material. The cleaning gas contains chlorine without containing fluorine. The first temperature and the first pressure are set to activate chlorine in the cleaning gas.

A silicon epitaxial layer is formed on the semiconductor underlayer of a target substrate (W) in the process chamber (2). This forming method includes a pressure reducing step of reducing the pressure inside the process chamber (2) accommodating the target substrate (W), a vapor phase growth step of introducing a film formation gas containing silane gas into the process chamber (2) to grow a silicon epitaxial layer on the semiconductor underlayer, and a hydrogen chloride treatment step and a hydrogen heat treatment step performed therebetween. The hydrogen chloride treatment step is arranged to introduce the first pre-treatment gas containing hydrogen chloride gas into the process chamber (2), thereby treating the atmosphere inside the process chamber (2). The hydrogen heat treatment step is arranged to introduce the second pre-treatment gas containing hydrogen gas into the process chamber (2), thereby treating the surface of the semiconductor underlayer.
