Edinson Cavani put PSG ahead after 12 minutes by finishing calmly from a Zlatan Ibrahimovic throughball and the strikers combined to set up Marquinhos for the Ligue 1 leaders' second.
Valentin Eysseric gave Saint-Etienne hope with a penalty just before the interval, but the closest Christophe Galtier's men came to an equaliser was when substitute Nolan Roux flashed a late header over the crossbar.
Lucas Moura confirmed PSG's progression into the last four by slotting past Stephane Ruffier following a superb solo run in stoppage time, ensuring Laurent Blanc's side maintain their chances of winning a successive clean sweep of domestic titles.
Ligue 2 strugglers Sochaux fell behind early at home against Nantes through Guillaume Gillet's goal, but Moussa Sao struck with just three minutes left to force extra-time.
Sekou Cisse put Sochaux in front with Sao adding a vital third to seal Sochaux's semi-final spot and a famous win over their top-flight opponents, although Adryan scored in the closing minutes to make it a nervy finish at Stade Auguste Bonal.
Lorient beat 10-man Gazelec Ajaccio 3-0 to book their place in the last four, with Romain Philippoteaux scoring for a fourth successive home cup match to put the hosts ahead.
