ABSTRACT:
An etching method comprises a step of forming a via hole structure based on a photoresist film layer (210) for forming a wiring pattern, a silicon oxide film layer (201) which is a hard mask layer formed under the photoresist film, and an organic Low-k film layer (203) formed under the hard mask layer, wherein in the step, the organic film layer and the organic Low-k film layer are etched by using a mixture gas of N2gas, H2gas, and a CF gas.
