    摘要: According to one aspect of the technique of the present disclosure, there is provided a substrate processing apparatus including: a heater heating a substrate in a reaction tube; a temperature controller controlling the heater; a valve controller adjusting an opening degree of a control valve to adjust a gas flow rate; and a main controller instructing a recipe including: (a) elevating an inner temperature of the reaction tube to a predetermined temperature at an elevating rate; (b) processing the substrate at the predetermined temperature; and (c) lowering the inner temperature of the reaction tube at a lowering rate. The main controller controls the temperature controller and the valve controller so that the inner temperature of the reaction tube changes in (a) or (c) at the elevating or lowering rate by heating in parallel with cooling by the gas supplied through the control valve.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a substrate processing apparatus, a substrate processing method, a semiconductor device manufacturing method, and a control program capable of controlling thickness uniformity of a film formed on a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a process chamber into which a substrate is transferred; a heating device heating the substrate, transferred into the process chamber, from its periphery side; a cooling device cooling the substrate, transferred into the process chamber, from its periphery side; a process gas supply unit supplying a process gas into the process chamber; and a control unit controlling the heating device and the cooling device to generate temperature difference between a center and the periphery sides of the substrate and controls the process gas supply unit. The control unit operates the process gas supply unit to stop operation of the cooling device during supply of the process gas into the process chamber.
