Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of cleaning a semiconductor device fabrication apparatus comprising removing a metal oxide layer generated when a conductive layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate formed with the metal oxide layer every time when the conductive layer is formed. SOLUTION: The method for cleaning the semiconductor device fabrication apparatus includes the steps of; forming the conductive layer on the semiconductor substrate formed with the metal oxide layer using source gases containing conductive atoms within the semiconductor device fabrication apparatus; transferring the semiconductor substrate to the outside of the semiconductor device fabrication apparatus, and removing the one or more byproducts generated by the reaction of the source gases and the metal oxide layer in the absent state of the semiconductor substrate. The step of removing the byproducts is performed every time the step of forming the conductive layer is performed. As a result, the by-products generated when the conductive layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate formed with the metal oxide layer can be removed every time the conductive layer is formed.
