Abstract
Abstract In a step of forming a through-hole through an oxidation film in dry-etching the oxidation film by using fluorocarbon, a deposition film is formed on an etching surface to include carbon of more than 50%, preferably 80%, and fluorine of less than 50%, preferably 20%. Thus, a high selectivities to silicon, silicon nitride and titanium nitride are obtained.
