Abstract
An etching gas mixture includes a nitrogen-containing compound and an inert gas. To manufacture an integrated circuit (IC) device, a silicon-containing film on a substrate is etched by using plasma generated from the etching gas mixture, and thus a hole is formed in the silicon-containing film. The nitrogen-containing compound is selected from a compound represented by Formula 1 and a compound represented by Formula 2:(R)C≡N [Formula 1]
