Abstract:
A plasma processing method performs an etching process of supplying a fluorine-containing gas into a plasma processing space and etching a target substrate, in which a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film is formed on a surface of a metal silicide film, with plasma of the fluorine-containing gas (process S101). Then, the plasma processing method performs a reduction process of supplying a hydrogen-containing gas into the plasma processing space and reducing, with plasma of the hydrogen-containing gas, a metal-containing material deposited on a member, of which a surface is arranged to face the plasma processing space, after the etching process (process S102). Thereafter, the plasma processing method performs a removal process of supplying an oxygen-containing gas into the plasma processing space and removing metal, which is obtained by reducing the metal-containing material in the reduction process, with plasma of the oxygen-containing gas (process S103).
