Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device e.g. a DRAM. The method comprises etching and patterning, using a gas containing chlorine, a conductive film 20 which is made of aluminium or aluminium alloy, deposited on the surface of an insulating film formed on a substrate 10. The substrate and the conductive film are exposed to a reaction solution, containing a metal, such as silver or lead e.g. silver nitrate, which is capable of reacting with chlorine and forming a metal chloride having a small solubility product. The reaction of chlorine with the metal prevents it from corroding the aluminium-containing conductive film 20.
