ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing method is provided of processing a sample having a silicon nitride layer with high accuracy of size in anisotropy and excellent selectivity to a silicon oxide layer as underlayer. A mixed atmosphere of chlorine gas containing no fluorine with aluminum is converted into plasma in a plasma etching processing chamber and the sample having the silicon nitride layer is etched by using the plasma.
