Abstract: There is provided a substrate processing system including an etching apparatus configured to supply a gas containing fluorocarbon to generate plasma so as to perform an etching process on a film including silicon formed on a substrate, wherein the etching process is performed by using plasma through a mask formed on the film including silicon, a film forming apparatus configured to supply a gas containing carbon so as to form a film including carbon on the etched film including silicon. The film forming apparatus is provided separately from the etching apparatus, the etching apparatus performing, a first etching step in which the film including silicon is partway etched by using plasma; and a second etching step in which the film including silicon, on which the film including carbon is formed, is further etched by using plasma, the film forming apparatus performing a film forming step in which the film including carbon is formed, without generating plasma, on the film including silicon on which the first etching step has been performed.

Abstract: A film forming method includes placing a substrate on a substrate placement stage provided inside a processing container, exhausting and depressurizing an inside of the processing container, forming a carbon film on the substrate by generating plasma through application of radio frequency power for plasma generation to the substrate placement stage while supplying a process gas including a carbon-containing gas into the depressurized processing container, and performing plasma processing by applying a negative direct current voltage to a counter electrode facing the substrate placement stage, along with application of the radio frequency power for plasma generation to the substrate placement stage.
