Title:
PLASMA ETCHING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013033856
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a plasma etching method that suppresses occurrence of necking and bowing, and has a high etching rate and a high mask selection ratio.

There is provided the plasma etching method using a plasma etching device which has a lower electrode functioning as a placement table for a workpiece and an upper electrode arranged opposite the lower electrode, the plasma etching method including a first etching process of carrying out plasma etching using first processing gas including fluorocarbon-based gas; and an etching process of carrying out plasma etching using second processing gas including fluorocarbon-based gas by applying a negative DC voltage to the upper electrode so that the applied voltage is larger in absolute value in a period of a second condition under which high-frequency electric power for plasma generation is turned OFF than in a period of a first condition under which the high-frequency electric power for plasma generation is turned on while alternating the first condition and second condition, namely, a second etching process such that adhesion of a radical of the first processing gas to the workpiece is larger than that of a radical of the second processing gas to the workpiece.
