A metal etching process. A glue/barrier layer, a metal layer and an anti-refeletion layer are formed on a substrate. A three-stage etching step is performed. A break through step of etching is performed to pattern the glue/barrier layer. A main etching step is performed on the metal layer with chlorine, boron trichloride, and trifluoro-methane as etching gases. The trifluoro-methane is advantageous to produce a polymer during etching, so that the profile of the metal layer appears atilt. An over-etching step is then performed to ensure an insulation between neighboring wiring lines.
