Abstract

An etching apparatus is provided to be able to rotate or tilt a substrate holder on which a to-be-processed substrate is placed. According to a profile of a pre-process critical dimension of the substrate, the etching apparatus may rotate or tilt the substrate holder during an etching process in order to achieve a desired profile of a post-process critical dimension of the substrate that is related to the pre-process critical dimension.
