A technique includes forming a film containing a first element, a second element, and carbon on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times. The cycle includes non-simultaneously performing: forming a first solid layer containing the first element and carbon, and having a thickness of more than one atomic layer and equal to or less than several atomic layers, by supplying a precursor gas having a chemical bond of the first element and carbon to the substrate and confining the precursor gas within the process chamber, under a condition in which the precursor gas is autolyzed and at least a part of the chemical bond of the first element and carbon is maintained without being broken; and forming a second solid layer by supplying a reaction gas containing the second element to the substrate to modify the first solid layer. |
