A technique capable of controlling in-plane uniformity of a film formed on a substrate includes a step of forming a film on a substrate by performing a predetermined number of cycles in which a step of supplying a metal-containing gas to the substrate and a step of supplying a reducing gas containing an element that becomes a solid by itself to the substrate are performed in a time-division manner. The reducing gas has a property of changing a deposition rate of the film from an increasing rate to a decreasing rate in accordance with the exposure amount of the reducing gas with respect to the substrate. In the step of supplying the reducing gas, the exposure amount of the reducing gas with respect to the substrate is adjusted in accordance with the property of the reducing gas.
