Abstract

A plasma etching apparatus comprises a chamber, a holding table for holding samples, such as a semiconductor substrate to be etched, in the chamber, a plasma-generating device for generating a plasma within the chamber, and a magnetic-field-forming device which forms a magnetic field perpendicular to the surface of the sample placed on the holding table and parallel the inner wall of the chamber.
