Abstract

Ashing process of a resist pattern used in a semiconductor device manufacturing method is conducted by exposing the resist, the wirings, and their peripheral regions to a first atmosphere which includes a first product obtained by plasmanizing a gas containing water at a rate of more than 30 flow rate %, and placing the resist in a second atmosphere which includes a second product obtained by plasmanizing an oxygen mixed gas which contains an oxygen gas as a principal component before or after or before and after the exposing step.
