Abstract
Provided is an etching method capable of selectively etching an etching object containing silicon nitride as compared with a non-etching object while the generation of particles and a variation in etching rate are suppressed. The etching method includes an etching step of bringing an etching gas containing more than 20% by volume of nitrosyl fluoride into contact with a member to be etched () having an etching object that is to be etched by the etching gas and having a non-etching object that is not to be etched by the etching gas, to selectively etch the etching object as compared with the non-etching object without plasma. The etching object contains silicon nitride.
