ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, including the steps of: cooling a semiconductor wafer to a predetermined temperature, the semiconductor wafer being mounted on a stage provided with cooling means and having a thin oxide film on a surface thereof; supplying energy to gas containing hydrogen and water vapor to excite the gas into a plasma state; adding nitrogen fluoride downstream into a flow of the gas in the plasma state; and introducing a flow of the gas, including the nitrogen fluoride, to the semiconductor wafer to etch the thin oxide film while maintaining the semiconductor wafer at the predetermined temperature.
