Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the steps of forming a photoresist pattern on a metal layer and forming a wiring by etching a metal composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy with plasma including chlorine and eliminating said photoresist pattern while simultaneously eliminating residual chlorine on the wiring by adding alkyl ketone or alkyl ether in an oxygen plasma ash chamber. The present invention can provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which can eliminate residual chlorine and a photoresist pattern by adding alkyl ketone or alkyl ether so that wiring corrosion may be prevented.
