Abstract

An etching device uses a gas activated by a plasma for etching a semiconductor element. The apparatus includes object feeding and etching chambers formed on the opposite sides of an airtight flat chamber and a support plate rotatably mounted in the flat chamber to bring the semiconductor element from the feeding chamber to the etching chamber in which the semiconductor element is etched by the vertically flowing activated gas.
