Abstract:
There is provided a substrate processing method, including: forming a silicon nitride film laminated on an etching target film by supplying a film forming gas to a substrate; oxidizing a surface of the silicon nitride film to form an oxide layer by supplying an oxidizing gas to the substrate; and etching the etching target film by supplying an etching gas containing halogen to the substrate, in a state in which the etching target film and the oxide layer are exposed on a surface of the substrate.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising a plasma generating mechanism configured to convert the oxidizing gas supplied onto the rotary table into plasma and to supply the plasma to the substrate.
