ABSTRACT:
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a refractory metal film is stacked on a first wiring metal film. An antireflection film is deposited on the refractory metal film. A wiring including the first wiring metal film, the refractory metal film, and the antireflection film is formed, and an interlayer insulating film is formed on the wiring. The interlayer insulating film is etched to form a contact hole so that a surface of the antireflection film corresponds to an uppermost layer of the wiring and an etching by-product is produced on a sidewall of the contact hole. The etching by-product produced on the sidewall of the contact hole is then removed. Thereafter, a portion of the antireflection film located in a bottom portion of the contact hole is removed. A second wiring metal film is then deposited through the contact hole.
