ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes doping a surface of a silicon-containing dielectric film with nitrogen to change an etching rate of the silicon-containing dielectric film relative to a predetermined solution such that the etching rate is lower at a surface portion doped with nitrogen than at a portion therebelow. The method subsequently includes patterning the silicon-containing dielectric film by a first etching process to form an etching mask, subsequently to the first etching process, removing etching residues of the silicon-containing dielectric film by a second etching process including wet etching using the predetermined solution, and subsequently to the second etching process, patterning an etching target film by a third etching process using the etching mask.
