Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a dry etching method in which the type of reactive gas used is improved and the selectively between a workpiece being etched and a substance below the workpiece is increased. A gas comprising a fluoride gas and a compound gas containing hydrogen as a constituent element is used as the reactive gas. According to the present invention, the etching selectivity between a workpiece being etched and a substance below the workpiece is greatly increased, and etching of the substance below the workpiece can be prevented. The present invention is applicable to a semiconductor structure having a silicon oxide film below a silicon nitride film.
