A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device by etching a SiN film on a surface of a substrate by using a gas containing a halogen element includes supplying a gas containing a basic gas at the initial stage of a process for supplying the gas containing the halogen element to the surface of the SiN film. By supplying the gas containing the basic gas at the initial stage of the etching, a SiNO film covering the surface of the SiN film is changed to a film of reaction products mainly including water (H2O) and ammonium hexafluorosilicate ((NH4)2SiF6). |
