    摘要: Provided is a dry etching method capable of selectively etching an etching object containing lanthanum as compared with a non-etching object at a sufficient etching rate without plasma. The dry etching method includes a dry etching step of bringing an etching gas containing nitrosyl fluoride into contact with a member to be etched (12) having an etching object that is to be etched by the etching gas and having a non-etching object that is not to be etched by the etching gas, to selectively etch the etching object as compared with the non-etching object without plasma. The etching object contains lanthanum.

    摘要: An etching method including an etching step of bringing an etching gas which contains nitrosyl fluoride and has been converted into plasma into contact with a member to be etched (9) having an etching object and a non-etching object, and selectively etching the etching object as compared with the non-etching object. The etching step is performed in a chamber (7) containing the member to be etched (9) using a remote plasma generation device (16) provided outside the chamber (7) as a plasma generation source. The concentration of nitrosyl fluoride in the etching gas is 0.3 vol % or more, the temperature condition of the etching step is 0° C. to 250° C., and the pressure condition of the etching step is 100 Pa or more and 3 kPa or less. The etching object includes silicon nitride. Also disclosed is a method for producing a semiconductor device using the etching method.

    摘要: There is provided an etching method capable of selectively etching an etching object as compared with a non-etching object. An etching method includes an etching step of bringing an etching gas containing nitrosyl fluoride into contact with a member to be etched (12) having an etching object subject to etching by the etching gas and a non-etching object not subject to etching by the etching gas, and selectively etching the etching object as compared with the non-etching object without using plasma. The etching object contains at least one of silicon and silicon germanium represented by the chemical formula Si1-xGex and the non-etching object contains at least one of germanium and silicon germanium represented by the chemical formula Si1-yGey. In both the chemical formulae, x is 0 or more and less than 1, y is more than 0 and 1 or less, and x is smaller than y.

    摘要: Provided is an etching method capable of selectively etching an etching object containing silicon nitride as compared with a non-etching object while the generation of particles and a variation in etching rate are suppressed. The etching method includes an etching step of bringing an etching gas containing more than 20% by volume of nitrosyl fluoride into contact with a member to be etched (12) having an etching object that is to be etched by the etching gas and having a non-etching object that is not to be etched by the etching gas, to selectively etch the etching object as compared with the non-etching object without plasma. The etching object contains silicon nitride.

    摘要: A method for forming a pattern of metal oxide capable of selectively etching an etching object containing metal oxide relative to a non-etching object and forming a pattern of the metal oxide along a pattern of the non-etching object serving as a template. Metal oxide containing oxide of at least one of tin and indium is etched using an etching gas to form the pattern of the metal oxide. An etching gas containing halon is brought into contact with a member to be etched in the presence of plasma, and etching is performed while a bias power is applied to a lower electrode (2) supporting the member to be etched to selectively etch a metal oxide layer (22) relative to a silicon substrate (24), a template layer (21), and an underlying layer (23), and the predetermined pattern of the template layer (21) is transferred to the metal oxide layer (22).
