Abstract

After forming a processed film onto the underlying film formed on the substrate, the processed film is dry etched using a mask pattern so as to form an etched pattern. After the reaction product deposited on a wall of the etched pattern is removed by using the first cleaning solution having relatively low power to etch the processed film and the second cleaning solution having relatively high power to etch the processed film in that order, the etched pattern or its vicinity is rinsed with water.
