Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are a plasma processing method and a plasma processing apparatus which collectively perform etching under the same etching conditions while suppressing a shape abnormality. The multilayer film material has a polysilicon layer, a first metal layer formed on the polysilicon layer, and a hard mask layer which contains a tungsten layer formed on the first metal layer. In the method, plasma is generated by a mixed gas of a chloride-containing gas which contains a compound containing chlorine and silicon, a compound containing chlorine and boron, or a compound containing chlorine and hydrogen, a chlorine-containing gas which contains chlorine, and a processing gas which contains carbon and fluorine, and the hard mask layer is used as an etching mask so as to perform the etching from a top surface of the first metal layer to a bottom surface of the polysilicon layer.
