    Abstract: A plasma etching apparatus may include a first source electrode, a first bias electrode, and a second bias electrode configured to generate a plasma by supplying energy to a process gas injected into a chamber; and a controller. The controller may be configured to supply a first high-frequency RF power, a first low-frequency RF power, and a second low-frequency RF power to the chamber during a first period from a first time to a second time; ramp down and turn off the first high-frequency RF power to the chamber during a second period from the second time to a third time; and ramp down and turn off the first low-frequency RF power to the chamber during a third period from the second time to a fourth time different from the third time. The third period may be smaller than ½ of the first period and greater than the second period.
