Abstract

An etching gas composition includes a first organofluorine compound having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and an organosulfur compound having 1 to 4 sulfur atoms. The organosulfur compound may include a carbon-fluorine (C—F) bond, a carbon-sulfur (C—S) bond, at least one carbon-carbon double (—C═C—) bond. When the etching gas composition is used, excellent etch selectivity may be obtained, and the linearity and verticality of a pattern may be greatly increased by improving line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR) due to an improvement in the roughness of an etched surface.
