Abstract

A method for etching a titanium nitride film includes a first process of supplying reactive species, which include hydrogen and fluorine, to a base material including a titanium nitride film on at least a part of a surface, and a second process of vacuum-heating the base material to remove the surface reaction layer that is generated on the surface of the titanium nitride film in the first process.
