PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent initial or progressive aluminum corrosion, which occurs due to re-exposure of an aluminum wiring when an overlay film of the wiring is etched. SOLUTION: An aluminum thin film is formed on a substrate 201 and then patterned to be an aluminum wiring layer 205. Next, the aluminum wiring layer is coated with an insulating film 206 containing nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Next, a predetermined area of the insulating film 206 is subjected to dry etching in an atmosphere containing fluorine, thereby the layer 205 is exposed partially or wholly. Next, anti-corrosion treatment for the aluminum wiring layer is performed in a plasma atmosphere containing oxygen. Here, the process of exposing the aluminum wiring partially or wholly and the process of the anti-corrosion treatment for the aluminum wiring layer are successively carried out in a condition where the substrate 201 does not contact with the atmosphere air.
