There is provided a technique that includes: forming an oxide film containing an atom X of a precursor on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times. The cycle including non-simultaneously performing: (a) forming a first layer containing a component in which a first group is bonded to the atom X on the substrate by supplying the precursor having a molecular structure in which the first and second groups are bonded to the atom X, to the substrate, the first group containing an alkoxy group, and the second group containing at least one of an amino group, an alkyl group, a halogeno group, a hydroxy group, a hydro group, an aryl group, a vinyl group, and a nitro group; and (b) forming a second layer containing the atom X by supplying an oxidizing agent to the substrate to oxidize the first layer.
