Abstract

The present invention relates to an etching method including a reaction layer forming step of forming a reaction layer by adsorption of a gas on a surface of an etching target material, a desorption step of desorbing the reaction layer after the reaction layer forming step, and a removal step of removing the reaction layer or a deposited film, characterized in that the surface of the etching target material is etched by the reaction layer forming step and the desorption step.
