Abstract

In a method of forming an electrically conductive lamination pattern, an insulating film is formed on a surface of a chromium-containing bottom layer, before an aluminum-containing top layer is formed over the insulating film, so that the insulating film separates the aluminum-containing top layer from the chromium-containing bottom layer. A first selective wet etching process is carried out for selectively etching the aluminum-containing top layer with a first etchant. A second selective wet etching process is carried out for selectively etching the chromium-containing bottom layer with a second etchant in the presence the insulating film which suppresses a hetero-metal-contact-potential-difference between the chromium-containing bottom layer and the aluminum-containing top layer during the second selective wet etching process.
