Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a barrier metal disposed on a metallic thin film for forming a thin film resistor is patterned by wet-etching. The wet-etching produces a residue of the barrier metal. The residue is removed after the oxidation thereof. Accordingly the residue is completely removed. As a result, the patterning of the thin film resistor is stably performed, and short-circuit does not occur to a wiring pattern disposed above the barrier metal.
