Abstract

A dry etching method involves plasma etching an organic anti-reflecting coating film through a mask layer made of photoresist and having a predetermined pattern by using an etching gas of CF4 and O2. The method allows an organic anti-reflecting coating film to be etched such that the etched film exhibits a side wall portion having a better shape as compared with that formed by a conventional technique.
