Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device manufacturing method enabling miniaturization by forming a hole in a vertical shape, capable of reducing the number of processes as compared to conventional methods, and capable of increasing productivity. The semiconductor device manufacturing method includes: forming a hole in a substrate; forming a polyimide film within the hole; anisotropically etching the substrate without using a mask covering a sidewall portion of the polyimide film within the hole and removing at least a part of a bottom portion of the polyimide film within the hole while the sidewall portion of the polyimide film remains within the hole; and filling the hole with a conductive metal.
