ABSTRACT:
A contact hole forming method uses a negative resist film having an absorptivity of 0.5 .mu.m.sup.-1 or above to suppress standing-wave effect in forming contact holes in a silicon dioxide film or the like underlying the negative resist film by anisotropic etching. The contact hole forming method comprises steps of: applying a negative resist having an absorptivity of 0.5 .mu.m.sup.-1 or above to the stepped surface of a stepped film formed on a substrate to form a negative resist film having a flat surface; exposing the negative resist film through a photomask to laser light emitted by a krypton fluoride excimer laser; developing the exposed negative resist film; and etching the silicon dioxide film or the like by anisotropic etching using the developed negative resist film as an etching mask and an etching gas containing a fluorocarbon or a mixture of a fluorocarbon and hydrogen to form contact holes. The negative resist film suppresses standing-wave effect, so that the contact holes can be formed in diameters accurately corresponding to the diameters of corresponding patterns of the photomask.
