ABSTRACT:
An etching method which makes it possible to obtain a desired etching shape with ease, and a computer-readable storage medium storing a program for implementing the method. The etching method is executed by a substrate processing apparatus that performs plasma processing on a semiconductor wafer by plasma. The apparatus comprises a substrate accommodating chamber for accommodating the semiconductor wafer which has an oxide film and a resist film formed on the oxide film, and an upper electrode plate disposed in the substrate accommodating chamber and exposed in a processing space in the substrate accommodating chamber. At least part of the upper electrode plate is formed of a silicon-containing material. The upper electrode plate is sputtered by plasma, and the oxide film is etched by plasma.
