Abstract: A method of selectively etching a first region R1 made of silicon oxide with respect to a second region R2 made of silicon nitride by performing a plasma processing upon a processing target object is provided. The processing target object has the second region R2 forming a recess; the first region R1 configured to fill the recess; and a mask MK provided on the first region R1. The method includes a first process of generating plasma of a processing gas containing a fluorocarbon gas, and a second process of etching the first region with radicals of fluorocarbon contained in a deposit. In the second process, a high frequency power contributing to the generating of the plasma is applied in a pulse shape, and these processes are repeated.

Abstract: A method of plasma processing includes cyclically performing a cycle including the steps of performing a glow phase and performing an afterglow phase. The glow phase includes providing a first SP pulse comprising a first SP power level for a first duration to an SP electrode to generate a capacitively coupled plasma in a plasma processing chamber. The first SP pulse terminates at the end of the glow phase. The afterglow phase is performed after the glow phase and includes providing a BP pulse train to a BP electrode coupled to a target substrate within the plasma processing chamber in an afterglow of the capacitively coupled plasma for a second duration between about 10 μs and about 100 μs. The BP pulse train includes a plurality of BP spikes. Each of the plurality of BP spikes is a DC pulse that has a first BP power level.

Abstract: A method includes performing a first on phase including applying an SP pulse to an SP electrode to generate plasma, performing a second on phase after the first on phase, performing a corner etch phase after the second on phase, and performing a by-product management phase after the corner etch phase. The SP pulse terminates at the end of the first on phase. The second on phase includes applying a first BP pulse to a BP electrode coupled to a target substrate. The first BP pulse includes a first BP power level and accelerates ions of the plasma toward to target substrate. The corner etch phase includes applying a BP spike including a second BP power level greater than the first BP power level. The duration of the BP spike is less than the duration of the first BP pulse.
