Abstract

Anodic oxidation is conducted without forming a voltage supplying line for anodic oxidation.A second wiring layer comprising aluminum is formed as separated for each wiring, and electrically forms a short circuit by a metallic film comprising tantalum. The second wiring layer is subjected to anodic oxidation by applying a voltage to the first metallic film, and an anodic oxide film (alumina film) is formed on the surface thereof. A first wiring layer is formed by etching an anodic oxide with the anodic oxide as a mask, to complete wiring comprising wiring layers and laminated to each other.
