ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of forming an organic insulating film of a low dielectric constant on a surface of a silicon wafer, forming a photoresist film on the organic insulating film, exposing the photoresist film to light to form a pattern, reacting a silicon containing compound with the photoresist film pattern-exposed to silylate a light exposed portion of the photoresist film, thereby making etching resistance of the light-exposed portion higher than a non-light-exposed portion of the photoresist film, and performing reactive ion etching using a silylated photoresist film as a mask, thereby dry-developing the non light-exposed portion of the photoresist film simultaneously with etching the organic insulating film.
