Abstract
Photosensitive resist material is coated on a substrate and exposed and developed to form a resist pattern. The surface layer of sidewalls and a top wall of the resist pattern is etched by plasma of a mixture gas of a first gas and an SOgas, the first gas being at least one gas selected from a group consisting of He, Ne, Ar, Xe, Kr, CO, COand N. Resist pattern deformation and pattern collapse can be prevented while the resist pattern shrinks.
