    摘要: A substrate processing method suppresses a shape abnormality of a pattern formed on a substrate. The substrate processing method executed by a substrate processing apparatus includes step a), step b), and step c). The step a) is a step of providing a substrate including an etching target film and a mask layer formed on the etching target film in which the mask layer has an opening. The step b) is a step of forming a protective film on an upper portion of an opening of the mask. The step c) is a step of etching the mask while suppressing a variation of an opening dimension of the upper portion of the opening by the protective film, and varying a dimension of a lower portion of the opening not covered by the protective film.

    摘要: In an embodiment, in the method for processing a workpiece including an etching target layer containing silicon oxide, a mask provided on the etching target layer, and an opening provided in the mask and exposing the etching target layer, according to the embodiment, the etching target layer is etched by removing the etching target layer for each atomic layer through repetitive execution of a sequence of generating plasma of a first processing gas containing nitrogen, forming a mixed layer containing ions included in the plasma on an atomic layer on an exposed surface of the etching target layer, generating plasma of a second processing gas containing fluorine, and removing the mixed layer by radicals included in the plasma. The plasma of the second processing gas contains the radicals that remove the mixed layer containing silicon nitride.
