An etching method capable of obtaining a fine fabricated shape, particularly, a vertical fabricated shape with less bowing upon fabrication of insulation films in the production of semiconductors, the method comprising controlling the incident amount of O, F or N radicals, gas flow rate or consumption amount of O, F and N on the inner wall surface with etching time to suppress excessive O, F and N which become excessive in the initial stage of etching, the method also including control for the flow rate or the consumption amount based on the result of measurement for plasmas during etching so as to obtain a stable etching shape. Since bowing can be reduced upon fabrication of insulation film hole and insulation film while maintaining the etching rate and the selectivity, finer semiconductor device can be produced easily.
