ABSTRACT:
An object of this invention is to provide a dry etching method enabling a higher productivity and a higher yield without giving any bad effect to a substrate (such as, for instance, damages to a gate oxide film bed) even in a case where a side wall protection film is formed and then the side wall protection film must be removed later.
This invention is a dry etching method for processing a polycide layer, in which a poly Si layer and a refractory metal silicide layer are formed in this order on an oxide film bed, by etching resist patterns selectively formed on said polycide layer into a mask, wherein the undercut 6 is provided in the refractory metal silicide layer 2 or other layers contacting the resist pattern 1 and then the refractory metal silicide layer 2 and the poly Si layer 3 are isotropically etched.
