ABSTRACT:
An etching method is disclosed. The etching method includes the steps of: preparing a substrate5;forming first and second films61, 62each having predetermined internal stress on the substrate so that the internal stresses of the first and second films61, 62are canceled out or reduced with each other; forming a plurality of initial holes63in the first and second films61, 62to form a mask6;and forming a plurality of concave portions3in the substrate5at portions corresponding to the plurality of initial holes63by subjecting the substrate5to an etching process using the mask6.
