ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes a plasma etching process for selectively plasma etching a silicon nitride film against a silicon oxide film formed under the silicon nitride film in a substrate to be processed. The plasma etching process uses an etching gas including a CmFngas (m, n represent integers of 1 or greater) added to a gaseous mixture of a CHxFygas (x, y represent integers of 1 or greater) and O2gas, wherein the flow rate of the CmFngas is not greater than 10% of that of the O2gas. The etching gas may further include a rare gas.
