Abstract

In a substrate processing method of processing a substrate that includes an oxide layer as a mask layer and a silicon layer as a target layer to be processed, the silicon layer is etched while depositing a deposit on a surface of the oxide layer by a plasma generated from a mixed gas of a fluorine-based gas, a bromine-based gas, O2 gas, and SiCl4 gas to secure a thickness of the mask layer.
