Abstract
There is provided a plasma etching method. The plasma etching method includes generating plasma, by using a first high frequency power output from a first high frequency power supply, from a first processing gas that contains fluorine-containing gas, thereby etching a laminated film of a silicon oxide film and a silicon nitride film through the generated plasma, and generating plasma, by using the first high frequency power, from a second processing gas that contains bromine-containing gas, thereby etching the laminated film through the generated plasma.
