Abstract:
An etching method includes: (a) providing a substrate, the substrate including a first film and a second film having openings on the first film, the first film containing a metallic element and a non-metallic element, and (b) etching the first film through the openings. The (b) includes: (i) etching the first film through the openings with a first plasma generated from a first processing gas including a halogen-containing gas by supplying a pulse of a radio-frequency power, (ii) modifying a sidewall of a recess formed in the (i) with a second plasma generated from a second processing gas, and (iii) repeating the (i) and the (ii).
Abstract:
An etching method includes a step (a) of providing a substrate, the substrate including a first film and a second film having an opening on the first film, the first film containing a metallic element and a non-metallic element, a step (b) of forming a protective film on a sidewall of a recess formed in the first film corresponding to the opening, and a step (c) of etching the first film through the opening with a plasma generated from a processing gas including a halogen-containing gas at the same time as or after the step (b).
Abstract:
A particle backflow preventing part, which is disposed inside of an evacuation pipe connecting a process chamber and an evacuation device, includes a first plate part, and a second plate part that has an opening and is spaced from the first plate part by a first gap and positioned closer to the evacuation device than the first plate part. The opening is covered by the first plate part in plan view.
