    摘要: A dry etching method according to the present invention is for etching a silicon layer as a processing target in a processing room, characterized by supplying an iodine heptafluoride-containing etching gas from a gas supply source at a supply pressure of 66 kPa to 0.5 MPa, evacuating the processing room to an internal pressure lower than the supply pressure of the etching gas and, while maintaining the etching gas at the supply pressure, introducing the etching gas into the evacuated processing room so as to etch the silicon layer by the etching gas. It is possible by this dry etching method to etch the silicon upon adiabatic expansion of the etching gas under mild pressure conditions, with no fear of equipment load and equipment cost increase, and achieve good uniformity of in-plane etching amount distribution.
