A resist pattern of a resist film is formed by exposing the resist film using a gate electrode forming mask (a Levenson phase shift mask), and developing the resist film. An antireflection film is etched using the resist pattern as an etching mask, and the resist pattern and the antireflection film are trimmed. The manner of this trimming is not to etch a hard mask made of an inorganic material, but to etch the resist pattern and the antireflection film made of an organic material. Since a region consistent with a wiring pattern of the hard mask is covered by the resist pattern completely, breaking down and retraction of the wiring are prevented.
