Abstract:
An etching apparatus includes a controller configured to control a high frequency power supply to supply a high frequency power to a mounting table for etching a polymer layer formed on a base layer placed on the mounting table, using plasma generated from a predetermined gas supplied from a gas supply source by the high frequency power, the polymer layer having a periodic pattern of a first polymer and a second polymer formed by self-assembling the first polymer and the second polymer of a block copolymer that is capable of being self-assembled, the high frequency power being set for etching the polymer layer using the generated plasma such that the second polymer is removed and a pattern of the first polymer is formed for subsequently etching the base layer using the pattern of the first polymer as a mask.
