A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the following steps. At first, a Ru or RuO2 film and a SiO2 layer are formed over a Si substrate in that order. Then, a resist pattern is formed on the SiO2 layer and is then provided as a mask to etch the SiO2 layer to form a contact hole. The Ru or RuO2 film is exposed at the bottom of the contact hole. Subsequently, a plasma ashing is performed using an ashing gas prepared by mixing O2 with N2 where the composition ratio of N2 is 50% or more at a substrate temperature of 200° C. or more for ashing the resist pattern. Consequently, the present invention allows the ashing of the resist pattern over the Ru or RuO2 film at a high selectivity to prevent the Ru or RuO2 film from becoming disappeared.
