Abstract
In a semiconductor that has a structure in which a work function controlling metal conductor is provided on a high dielectric insulation film, fine processing is performed without deteriorating a device. In a method of semiconductor processing, in which the semiconductor has an insulation film containing Hf or Zr formed on a semiconductor substrate and a conductor film containing Ti or Ta or Ru formed on an insulation film, and the conductor film is processed by using a resist formed on the conductor film under a plasma atmosphere, the resist is removed under the plasma atmosphere of gas that contains hydrogen and does not contain oxygen.
