| 1. A substrate processing method comprising:
a first step of processing a substrate by supplying a first processing medium containing a first medium of a supercritical
state onto the substrate;
a second step of forming a Cu diffusion preventing film on the substrate by supplying a second processing medium containing
a second medium of a supercritical state onto the substrate; and
a third step of forming a Cu film on the substrate by supplying a third processing medium containing a third medium of a supercritical
state onto the substrate,
wherein the second processing medium is made by adding a precursor compound containing Ta to the second medium of the supercritical
state, and the precursor compound containing Ta is chosen from a group including TaF5, TaCl5, TaBr5, and TaI5.
