Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: providing a dielectric film on a substrate; providing a mask material on the dielectric film; etching the dielectric film using the mask material; performing a first treatment of removing a metal residue generated by etching the dielectric film from a sidewall of the dielectric film without removing the dielectric film; performing a second treatment of making a sidewall of the dielectric film formed by etching the dielectric film hydrophobic; and performing a third treatment of removing a silicon residue generated by etching the dielectric film, wherein the first treatment is a treatment of exposing the semiconductor substrate to a chemical fluid containing an inorganic acid, an organic acid, a salt of the inorganic acid or a salt of the organic acid, the second treatment is a treatment of exposing the semiconductor substrate to a chemical fluid containing a silylation reagent, and the third treatment is a treatment of exposing the semiconductor substrate to a chemical fluid containing a fluorine compound, wherein an oxidation-reduction potential of the chemical fluid containing the inorganic acid, the organic acid, a salt of the inorganic acid or a salt of the organic acid and used in the first treatment is equal to or lower than 0.5 V.
