Provided is a method of etching an etching target layer of a workpiece. The method includes forming a self-assemblable block copolymer layer containing a first polymer and a second polymer on an intermediate layer formed on the etching target layer; processing the workpiece to form a first region containing the first polymer and a second region containing the second polymer, from the block copolymer layer; after the processing the workpiece, forming a mask by etching the second region and the intermediate layer just below the second region; after the forming the mask, forming a protective film on the mask by generating plasma of a processing gas containing silicon tetrachloride gas and oxygen gas within a processing container of a plasma processing apparatus that accommodates the workpiece; and after the forming the protective film, etching the etching target layer.
