Abstract: An etching method of an oxygen-containing silicon film embedded in each recess of a substrate, which includes a plurality of recesses having different opening sizes, by supplying an etching gas to the substrate, the etching method including: adsorbing an organic amine compound gas on the oxygen-containing silicon film by supplying the organic amine compound gas to the substrate; desorbing an excess of the organic amine compound gas from the substrate; and selectively etching the oxygen-containing silicon film with respect to each recess by supplying the etching gas containing a halogen to the substrate on which the organic amine compound has been adsorbed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for reducing contact resistance, including depositing a GST layer on an InGaAs substrate, generating an InGaAs/GST/Ni stacked structure by depositing a Ni layer on the GST layer, and thermally treating the stacked structure to rearrange components of the GST layer and to generate a Ni-InGaAs alloy.
