Abstract: A film processing method includes forming a target film, the target film having an upper surface. The method includes forming a carbon film on the upper surface of the target film. The method includes performing a first etching to format least one recess in the target film, with the carbon film serving as a mask. The method includes performing a second etching, by directing an ion beam through the at least one recess, to increase a depth of the at least one recess.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes etching a film with etching gas that includes a chain hydrocarbon compound expressed as CxHyFz where C, H and F respectively denote carbon, hydrogen and fluorine, “x” denotes an integer of three or more, and “y” and “z” respectively denote integers of one or more. Furthermore, the CxHyFz is the chain hydrocarbon compound in which each of terminal carbon atoms on a carbon chain of the chain hydrocarbon compound is bonded only to fluorine atoms out of hydrogen and fluorine atoms.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes etching a film using etching gas that has a first or second molecule which has a C3F4 group and in which the number of carbon atoms is four or five. Further, the first molecule has an R1 group that bonds to a carbon atom in the C3F4 group through a double bond, and the R1 group contains carbon and also chlorine, bromine, iodine, or oxygen. Further, the second molecule has an R2 group that bonds to a carbon atom in the C3F4 group through a single bond and an R3 group that bonds to the carbon atom in the C3F4 group through a single bond, the R2 group or the R3 group or both containing carbon, and both the R2 group and the R3 group containing hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or oxygen.

Abstract: An etching method according to one embodiment, includes alternately switching a first step and a second step. The first step introduces a first gas containing a fluorine atom without supplying radiofrequency voltage to form a surface layer on a surface of a target cooled at a temperature equal to or lower than a liquefaction temperature of the first gas. The second step introduces a second gas gaseous at the first temperature and different from the first gas, and supplies the radiofrequency voltage, to generate plasma from the second gas to etch the target by sputtering using the plasma.
