Abstract

PURPOSE:To greatly reduce the damage caused to a substrate by etching a metal silicide film with use of mixed gas of CF4 and O2, and changing the mixed gas to SF gas when the etched depth reaches the lower layer part of the metal silicide film. CONSTITUTION:A WSi film 2 for forming an electrode is accumulated, for example, by 3000Angstrom on a GaAs substrate 4 on which an activated layer 3 is formed. After that, a resist pattern 1 for forming an electrode is formed in a predetermined position on the WSi film 2. Next, it is etched with the mixed gas of anisotropic CF4 and O2 until the residuary thickness of the WSi film 2 becomes nearly 500Angstrom . Thereby, the WSi film 2 may be vertically worked like the resist pattern 1. And the mixed gas is changed to SF6 to remove the residuary WSi film 2. Since the SF6 gas is isotropic, there is no possibility that damage is caused to the surface of the GaAs substrate.

Further, etching residues such as the resist pattern 1 are easily generated on the GaAs substrate 4 during the etching, and the metal silicide film 2 cannot be uniformly removed due to the residues. In order to eliminate this state, overetching is usually performed. However, if etching is performed for a long time until the residue is completely removed, there is a problem that the surface of the GaAs substrate 4 other than the residue is also scraped off. This causes deterioration of element characteristics such as FET transconductance.
