PURPOSE: A method for controlling a hard mask CD by argon sputtering is provided to prevent the corrosion of a sidewall in a hard mask when a base silicon layer is etched. CONSTITUTION: A hard mask is formed on a silicon base etching layer(104). The silicon base etching layer is arranged in a plasma processing chamber(108). The silicon base etching layer is silicon-sputtered(112). The sputtered silicon is oxidized(116). The silicon base etching layer is etched(118). A substrate is removed from the plasma processing chamber(120).
