ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. A minute pattern is formed using a hard mask film of a series of a nitride film as an etch mask. Before a hard mask film removal process is performed, the step of performing given etching using an oxide film etchant is added to remove an abnormal oxide film on the nitride film. It is thus possible to effectively remove the hard mask film. Generation of voids in a pattern below the hard mask film can be also effectively prevented using BOE in which the composition ratio of HF and NH4F and an etching temperature are optimized as an oxide film etchant.
