ABSTRACT:
In a method of removing a polymer and the leavings of the resist pattern that have adhered during dry etching to a film formed on a semiconductor substrate, the etched film undergoes plasma etching with the resist patter as a mask. Next, the resist pattern is removed by O.sub.2 plasma ashing and then the surface of the substrate is washed with pure water. Thereafter, with the substrate heated to 40.degree. C. or higher, the surface of the substrate is exposed to HF vapor and then the surface of the substrate is rinsed with pure water. With this method, the polymer and the leavings of the resist pattern that have adhered to the etched film can be removed easily.
