A technique of determining a rotational speed of a substrate (200), applied in a substrate processing including intermittently supplying, to the rotating substrate (200), a process gas from an outer edge of the substrate (200) toward an in-plane direction at a constant interval, a predetermined number of times K, during a predetermined duration T, includes: (a) calculating an evaluation value E corresponding to each of a plurality of candidate values N, which are candidate values for the selectable rotational speed of the substrate (200), based on: at least one selected from the group of the predetermined duration T and a supply interval I of the process gas; the predetermined number of times K; and each of the candidate values N; and (b) determining the rotational speed of the substrate (200) to be applied in the substrate processing from among the candidate values N based on the evaluation value E calculated for each candidate value N.

A technique includes (a) preparing a substrate (200) including a first film formed inside a recess, a surface of the first film inside the recess being terminated with a first termination that reduces wettability with respect to a processing liquid; and (b) removing at least a portion of the first film formed in a first region on an opening side of the recess while leaving the first film formed in a second region on a bottom side of the recess by supplying the processing liquid to the substrate (200) and selectively exposing, to the processing liquid, the surface of the first film formed in the first region with respect to the surface of the first film formed in the second region.

A cleat for an article of footwear is provided that inhibits clogging by debris. The cleat includes a base having a first side configured to face toward a ground surface and a second side opposite the first side. The first side has a domed surface with a convex curvature. The cleat further includes a plurality of arms extending radially from the first side of the base. Each of the arms has a first end coupled to the base and a second end extending away from the base. At least one arm has a first side configured to face toward the ground surface that includes a first surface extending from the first end to the second end. The first surface has no protrusions or ridges having a dimension greater than 0.5 mm.

There is provided a technique that includes (a) forming a layer containing a first element on a substrate by performing: (a1) supplying an inhibiting gas to the substrate to form an inhibiting group on the substrate, wherein the inhibiting group inhibits adsorption of a first gas containing an atom of the first element to the substrate; (a2) supplying a promoting gas to the substrate after start of (a1) to form a promoting group on the substrate, wherein the promoting group promotes adsorption of the first gas to the substrate; and (a3) supplying the first gas to the substrate after start of (a2).
