Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by performing a process on a substrate includes: forming a protective layer made of a polymer having a urea bond by supplying a raw material for polymerization to a surface of a substrate on which a protected film to be protected is formed; forming a sealing film at a first temperature lower than a second temperature at which the polymer is depolymerized so cover a portion where the protective layer is exposed; subsequently, subjecting the substrate to a treatment at a third temperature equal to or higher than the second temperature at which the polymer as the protective layer is depolymerized; subsequently, performing a treatment which causes damage to the protected film when the protective layer is not present; and after the performing a treatment which causes damage to the protected film, depolymerizing the polymer by heating the substrate.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the protected film is an electrode film made of a metal or a metal compound,\n the method further comprising: etching the protective layer and the electrode film by forming a pattern mask film on the protective layer formed on the electrode film, the forming a sealing film includes, after the etching, covering the entirety of a laminate composed of the pattern mask film, the protective layer and the electrode film with the sealing film which is a first insulating film, the subjecting the substrate to a treatment at a third temperature equal to or higher than the second temperature at which the polymer is depolymerized includes forming a second insulating film from above the sealing film, and the performing a treatment which causes damage to the protected film includes forming a contact hole reaching the protective layer by etching the second insulating film formed on the sealing film, and the sealing film.
