Contact holes (36a, 36b) are formed by means of plasma etching, such that the contact holes are formed from the top surface of a silicon oxide insulating film (31) down to a wiring layer (33a) at a deep position and a wiring layer (33b) at a shallow position, respectively, which are embedded in the insulating film (31). A process gas containing C4F8, CO, and Ar is used, while the process pressure is set to be from 30 to 60 mTorr, and the partial pressure of the C4F8 gas is set to be from 0.07 to 0.35 mTorr. Under these conditions, the process gas is turned into plasma, and the insulating film (31) is etched with the plasma to form the contact holes (36a, 36b).
