A method for manufacturing a magnetic device that obtains sufficient processing accuracy without increasing mask removal steps. A first mask layer is formed above a magnetic layer using one selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ta, W, and an oxide or a nitride thereof. A second mask layer is formed on the first mask layer using Ru or Cr. A resist pattern is formed on the second mask layer. A second mask pattern is formed by performing reactive ion etching with reactive gas containing oxygen on the second mask layer using the resist pattern. A first mask pattern is formed by performing reactive ion etching with reactive gas containing halogen gas on the first mask layer using the second mask pattern. A magnetic pattern is formed by performing reactive ion etching with reactive gas containing oxygen on the magnetic layer using the first mask pattern.
