Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: To lower the etching rate of a Ti disilicide, Ti nitride or Si dioxide lower layer to keep the etching rate of a W and Ti-W films at a high level. CONSTITUTION: A negative voltage is applied to an object having a W-contg. film, the object is exposed to a plasma environment contg. a mixture of CF-4- and O2 fed in the reactive ion etching condition to etch a W or W alloy film. A TiW surface layer 12 is e.g. formed on an SiO2 lower layer 14 on a support layer 16 such as Si wafer and a mask 18 of desired pattern is formed thereon. Resultant laminate 10 is fed in a plasma etching reactor to selectively etch the TiW surface layer 12 at a pressure of 30mTorr, temp. 45 deg.C, electrode voltage of -100V, CF4 flow rate of 40sccm, and O2 flow rate of 20sccm and then the mask 18 is removed.
