Abstract

Disclosed is a plasma etching method. The method includes a first step of vaporizing liquid heptafluoropropyl methyl ether (HFE-347mcc3) and liquid pentafluoropropanol (PFP); a second step of supplying a discharge gas containing the vaporized HFE-347mcc3, the vaporized PFP, and argon gas to a plasma chamber in which an etching target is disposed; and a third step of discharging the discharge gas to generate plasma and of plasma-etching the etching target using the generated plasma.
