Abstract

A process for formation of a metal pattern comprising the steps of forming a silicide metal film on an underlying substrate, forming an anti-reflection film on the underlying substrate on which the silicide metal film is formed, forming a resist film on the anti-reflection film, patterning the resist film by photolithography to form a predetermined pattern, and using the thus patterned resist film as a mask and etching the silicide metal film on the underlying substrate, wherein the optical constants and the thickness of the anti-reflection film are determined to give the smallest standing wave effect at the time of photolithography in accordance with the type of the silicide metal film.
