Abstract

By using first mixed gas containing carbon atoms and fluorine atoms, a semiconductor substrate is etched. In order to remove a damage layer formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate by this etching processing, the semiconductor substrate is etched by second mixed gas including gas containing fluorine atoms and oxygen gas having a partial pressure ratio of at least 70%. Thereafter, a semiconductor oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate to fabricate a semiconductor device.
