<p>A method of manufacturing a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element includes: forming a lower electrode layer above a substrate; forming, on the lower electrode layer, a variable resistance layer including an oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide; forming an upper electrode layer on the variable resistance layer; and forming a patterned mask on the upper electrode layer and etching the upper electrode layer, the variable resistance layer, and the lower electrode layer using the patterned mask. In the etching, at least the variable resistance layer is etched using an etching gas containing bromine.</p> |
