Abstract
A structure forming method according to an aspect is a structure forming method for forming a first hole and a second hole having width smaller than width of the first hole in a substrate with dry etching and forming a structure. The structure forming method includes forming an etching mask on the substrate, etching a portion of the etching mask overlapping a first hole forming region where the first hole is formed, etching a portion of the etching mask overlapping a second hole forming region where the second hole is formed, and performing the dry etching of the substrate using the etching mask as a mask.

A structure forming method for forming a first hole and a second hole having width smaller than width of the first hole in a substrate with dry etching and forming a structure, the structure forming method comprising:
- forming an etching mask on the substrate;
- etching a portion of the etching mask overlapping a first hole forming region where the first hole is formed;
- etching a portion of the etching mask overlapping a second hole forming region where the second hole is formed, and
- performing the dry etching of the substrate using the etching mask as a mask,
- wherein
- in the etching the portion of the etching mask overlapping the first hole forming region, a bottomed first recess is formed in the etching mask,
- in the etching the portion of the etching mask overlapping the second hole forming region, a bottomed second recess is formed in the etching mask, and
- thickness of a portion of the etching mask where the first recess is provided is larger than thickness of a portion of the etching mask where the second recess is provided.
A device comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a structure provided on the substrate and including a first hole having first width and a second hole having second width smaller than the first width, wherein
- the first hole and the second hole are respectively etching holes formed by dry etching, and
- height of scallops on a sidewall of the first hole is larger than height of scallops on a sidewall of the second hole such that the number of scallops on the sidewall of the first hole is less than the number of scallops on the sidewall of the second hole.
