Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that includes a semiconductor substrate having a principal surface above which a wiring pattern is formed on an insulation film, the method comprising: a first irradiation step of irradiating a first irradiated region with a focused ion beam so as to selectively remove a first portion corresponding to the first irradiated region of the wiring pattern, the first irradiated region being positioned on an inner side of a short defect portion of the wiring pattern in a direction along a plane parallel to the principal surface; and a second irradiation step of, after the first irradiation step, irradiating a second irradiated region with a focused ion beam so as to remove a second portion corresponding to the second irradiated region of the wiring pattern, the second irradiated region including a region that is positioned on an outer side of the short defect portion in the direction along the plane parallel to the principal surface.
