Furthermore, the thickness of the silicon carbide molecular layer is 0.2-2 nm. Further, the first precursor source is a silicon-carbon-hydrogen containing precursor source. Further, the molecules of the first precursor source contain a single Si — C bond.

And the surface of the substrate is subjected to self-limiting adsorption of the first precursor source to form a layer of monomolecular film by deposition, wherein the monomolecular film is a silicon carbide molecular layer. Self-limiting adsorption is characterized by the input of a precursor source to the surface of the substrate, the precursor source input contacting the substrate being maintained on the substrate surface by chemisorption (saturation adsorption) until the precursor source is consumed and a monolayer of monomolecular film is deposited.

Further, the thickness of the silicon carbide film is larger than that of the silicon carbide molecular layer. Since the deposition is a self-limiting adsorption deposition,
specifically, after a silicon carbide molecular layer film is self-limited adsorbed and deposited on the surface of a substrate in the first step and the second step, inert gas is introduced into the deposition reaction region to purge the surface of the substrate to remove a byproduct of the deposition reaction and an unreacted first precursor.
