A porous low-k film, a sacrificial film that can be dissolved in a pure water, an antireflection film and a resist film are successively formed on a dielectric film on a wafer and subsequently exposing the resist film to light in a prescribed pattern and developing the resist film so as to form a prescribed circuit pattern in the resist film. Then, the wafer W is etched so as to form a via hole in the porous low-k film, followed by processing the wafer with a hydrogen peroxide solution so as to denature the resist film. Further, the sacrificial film is dissolved in a pure water so as to strip the resist film and the antireflection film from the water. As a result, a via hole excellent in the accuracy of the shape is formed without doing damage to the dielectric film.
