ABSTRACT:
A dry etching apparatus that performs etching on a substrate1placed on a tray13inside a chamber18by covering the substrate1with a plate14provided with opening portions15,in which a distance D between the surface opposing the substrate1and the substrate1in the peripheral portion of the plate14is set shorter than the distance D between the surface opposing the substrate1and the substrate1in the central portion of the plate14. Textures can be thus formed homogeneously on the surface of the substrate.
