ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a plasma etching method that can etch a metal film as a material to be etched selectively against an organic film underlying the material. The etching method comprising the steps of introducing an etching gas in an etching chamber wherein a material to be etched is placed, and exciting the etching gas to a plasma state to etch that material to be etched, wherein the material to be etched is a metal film3consisting of Au, Pt, Ag, Ti, TiN, TiO, Al, an aluminum alloy, or a laminated film of these films laminated on an organic film5; and the etching gas is a mixed gas containing at least a gas selected from a group consisting of Cl2, BCl3, and HBr; and at least a gas selected from a group consisting of CH2Cl2, CH2Br2, CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3F, and CH4.
