評価試験1として、上記の成膜装置1を用いて上記の実施形態で説明したようにウエハWに成膜処理を行った。この成膜処理時の処理条件を以下に記載すると、ウエハWの温度は435℃、回転テーブル12の回転数は30rpm、真空容器11内の圧力は267Pa(2Torr)、マイクロ波発生器37への供給電力は2500Wである。また、ガス給排気ユニット2のガス流路25A、25B、25Cへ供給するDCSガスの流量は、夫々55sccm、510sccm、145sccmとした。また、発明の実施の形態では説明を省略したが、ガス給排気ユニット2のガス流路25Aについては供給されるDCSガスの流量が比較的小さい場合においても、安定して原料ガス吐出口21からガスを吐出させることができるように、Arガス供給源に接続されている。この評価試験では、当該Arガスを90sccmでガス流路25Aに供給し、ArガスとDCSガスとの混合ガスを、ガス流路25Aに接続される原料ガス吐出口21から吐出した。
