Abstract
A gate oxide film and a polysilicon layer are formed on a silicon substrate, and a pattern of photoresist is formed on the polysilicon layer. A silicon layer is etched halfway using a CF type gas such as CF , CHF , CH F and C F or a mixed gas including the same with the photoresist serving as a mask. This leaves fluorocarbon type deposition on sides of the etched hole. Then, any residue of the silicon film is etched using the gas of Cl , HBr, SF or O . This makes it possible to provide a configuration having inclined sides after etching.
