1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
loading a semiconductor substrate including a silicon oxide film into a chamber;
depositing a seed layer on the silicon oxide film by supplying a first silicon source material;
supplying a purge gas;
depositing a protective layer on the seed layer by repeating a first cycle, the first cycle including supplying a base source material and subsequently supplying a silicon source material having a material composition identical to the first silicon source material;
depositing a silicon nitride film on the protective layer by repeating a second cycle, the second cycle including supplying a second silicon source material and subsequently supplying a nitrogen source material; and
forming an air gap by using a cleaning process, the cleaning process including removing portions of the silicon oxide film and of the seed layer.
