Abstract: An etching method includes a preparing step and a removing step. In the preparing step, a substrate is prepared which includes a first film, a second film stacked on the first film, and a hard mask stacked on the second film, such that the second film is etched with the hard mask having a formed pattern as a mask until the first film is exposed.
