In an oxide film etching process, a plasma having a suitable ratio of CF3, CF2, CF, and F is necessary, and there is a problem in that the etching characteristic fluctuates in accordance with a temperature fluctuation of the etching chamber. Using a UHF type ECR plasma etching apparatus having a low electron temperature, a suitable dissociation can be obtained, and by maintaining the temperature of a side wall of the etching chamber in a range from 10° C. and 120° C., a stable etching characteristic can be obtained. Since oxide film etching using a low electron temperature and a high density plasma can be obtained, an etching result having a superior characteristic can be obtained, and, also, since the side wall temperature adjustment range is low, a simplified apparatus structure and a heat resistant performance countermeasure can be obtained easily.
