ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are a dry etching method and a dry etching apparatus. The method comprises a step of applying an etching inhibiting gas to that portion of a workpiece where etching speed is high, while the workpiece is being etched with reactive-gas plasma. The apparatus comprises functions for holding a reactive etching gas, a first electrode located within the gas-holding functions, for supporting a workpiece, a second electrode located within the gas-holding functions and spaced apart from the first electrode by a predetermined distance, functions for supplying high-frequency power, thereby to convert the reactive etching gas into a plasma in the space between the first and second electrodes, and functions for supplying an etching inhibiting gas to that portion of the workpiece where etching speed is high.
