Disclosed is a method of forming a thin film using a surface protection material, the method comprising supplying the surface protection material to the inside of a chamber on which a substrate is placed so that the surface protection material is adsorbed to the substrate, discharging the unadsorbed surface protection material from the inside of the chamber by purging the interior of the chamber, supplying a metal precursor to the inside of the chamber so that the metal precursor is adsorbed to the substrate, discharging the unadsorbed metal precursor from the inside of the chamber by purging the interior of the chamber, and supplying a reaction material to the inside of the chamber so that the reaction material reacts with the adsorbed metal precursor to form the thin film.
