A micro structure manufacture method includes the steps of: (a) preparing an etching object having an etching target film, provided with a lower hard mask layer and an upper hard mask layer stacked on the etching target film; (b) forming a resist pattern above the etching object; (c) etching the upper hard mask film by using the resist pattern as an etching mask to form an upper hard mask; (d) after the step (c), removing the resist pattern; (e) after the step (d), thinning the upper hard mask by etching; (f) etching the lower hard mask film by using the thinned upper hard mask as an etching mask to form a lower hard mask; and (g) etching the etching target film by using the upper hard mask and the lower hard mask as an etching mask, wherein the upper hard mask film is capable of being more easily etched, using the resist pattern as a mask, than the lower hard mask film. The micro structure manufacture method can etch a fine pattern with good yield.
