  • Patent number: 9230824
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method includes providing an object to be processed including a multilayer film formed by alternately laminating a first film and a second film having different dielectric coefficients within a processing container of a plasma processing apparatus; and repeatedly performing a sequence including: supplying a first gas including O2 gas or N2 gas, and a rare gas into the processing container and exciting the first gas, supplying a second gas including a fluorocarbon gas or a fluorohydrocarbon gas into the processing container and exciting the second gas, and supplying a third gas including HBr gas, a fluorine-containing gas, and a fluorocarbon gas or a fluorohydrocarbon gas into the processing container and exciting the third gas, so that the multilayer film is etched through a mask.
    Type: Grant
