Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a first film essentially consisting of silicon is deposited on the surface of a semiconductor substrate. A second film essentially consisting of material having a proper etching selection ratio relative to tungsten is deposited on the first film. A third film essentially consisting of tungsten is deposited on the second film. A resist pattern is formed on the third film. The third film is etched and patterned to the surface of the second film, by using the resist pattern as a mask. The second film is etched to have the same shape as the third film. The first film is etched to have the same shape as the third film. After the step of patterning the third film and before the step of patterning the first film, the resist pattern is heated to a temperature of 80.degree. C. or higher, the semiconductor substrate is exposed in atmospheric air, and the resist pattern is removed.
