Abstract

See full text

A plasma etching method capable of forming a tapering etching structure having a smooth surface is provided. A fluorine-containing gas and a nitrogen gas are used and plasma is generated from these gases simultaneously, and a silicon substrate K is etched by the plasma while an etch-resistant layer is formed on the silicon substrate K by the plasma and then a fluorine-containing gas and an oxygen-containing gas are used and plasma is generated from these gases simultaneously, and the silicon substrate K is etched by the plasma while an etch-resistant layer is formed on the silicon substrate K by the plasma generated from the oxygen-containing gas, thereby forming a tapering etching structure H having a wide top opening width and a narrow bottom width.
