An etching mask having high etching selectivity for an inorganic interlayer film of SiO2 or Si3N4, an organic interlayer film such as ARC and an electrically conductive film and a contact hole using such an etching mask, a process for forming same and a resultant semiconductor device. On formation of contact holes for connecting wirings disposed through interlayer films of inorganic or organic material (20, 23 in FIG. 2), a thin film of silicon carbide (21 in FIG. 2) having high etching selectivity for any of the inorganic and organic materials is deposited on an interlayer film, and a mask pattern of silicon carbide is formed using a resist pattern (22 in FIG. 2). Thereafter, high aspect ratio contact holes having a size which is exactly same as that of the mask is formed by etching the interlayer film using the silicon carbide mask.
