According to the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a multilayer interconnection structure, lower wires are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, a first reflow SiO.sub.2 film having a reflow form is formed on the semiconductor substrate and the lower wires by reacting SiH.sub.4 gas with H.sub.2 O.sub.2 in a vacuum at 650 Pa or less within a range from -10 to 10.degree.C. After the first reflow SiO.sub.2 film is formed, heat treatment is performed at a predetermined high temperature on the semiconductor substrate on which the first reflow SiO.sub.2 film, and a second reflow SiO.sub.2 film having a reflow form is formed on the semiconductor substrate and the lower wires by reacting SiH.sub.4 gas with H.sub.2 O.sub.2 in a vacuum at 650 Pa or less within a range from -10 to 10.degree.C. The heat treatment step performed after the first reflow SiO.sub.2 film forming step and the second reflow SiO.sub.2 film forming step subsequent thereto are respectively performed at least once. After the abovementioned steps are finished, upper wires are formed on the second reflow SiO.sub.2 film.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device having multilayer

In a patterning method according to this invention, a surface region of a resist layer is solution-retarded by a developer, and, then, the resist layer is patterned. Therefore, a desired shape of a side wall of the resist layer may be obtained by varying a solubility of the resist layer, with the result that a resist pattern with the side wall orthogonal to a surface of the substrate or the overhung side may be formed.

Method of forming micro patterns

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device of the present invention comprises a first step of exposing a periphery of a first region of a photoresist layer coating an insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate and a periphery of a second region for positioning, and a second step of heating said photoresist layer in ammonia atmosphere and forming an alkali insoluble portion in the periphery of the first region and that of the second region, a third step of exposing a third region, which is smaller than the first region, and the second region and developing these regions, a fourth step of etching the third region and the second region to a predetermined depth, and a fifth step of repeating the third and fourth steps once or more in a region, which is smaller than the third region, and the second region.
