Method for the manufacture of semiconductor device using refractory metal in a lift-off step

摘要

A semiconductor manufacturing method which uses a refractory metal as a lift-off material and employs, in combination, a dry etching process suitable for forming a miniature pattern without undercutting and a film deposition method for deposing the lift-off material with directionality in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface. A semiconductor device is fabricated by a lift-off method which is free from the fear of contamination, permits easy lift off of the lift-off material, even if large in area, and hence suitable for the formation of a high-density pattern.
