Abstract

A substrate processing method includes a providing step, a forming step, and an etching step. In the providing step, a substrate including an etching target film, a first mask formed on the etching target film, and a second mask formed to cover at least a part of the first mask is provided. In the forming step, a protective film is formed on a side wall of the second mask by plasma generated from a first gas. In the etching step, the etching target film is etched with plasma generated from a second gas.
