Abstract
A residue treatment system includes a treatment tank which treats residue with etching fluid, the residue being generated in a trench formed in an insulating film by dry etching; a measurement unit which measures a characteristic amount of the etching fluid; and a control unit which calculates treatment time for removing the residue on the basis of a value obtained by measuring the characteristic amount, the control unit calculating the treatment time by using correlation between an etching rate of the insulating film and the characteristic amount.
