Abstract:
A method includes: forming a metal oxide film on a substrate including an etching target film and a metal pattern formed thereon, and forming an oxide film having a relatively strong oxygen bond on the metal pattern; performing a reduction treatment such that the metal oxide film formed on the metal pattern is defined as a first metal-containing film and the metal oxide film formed on the etching target film is defined as a second metal-containing film whose surface is reduced into metal; selectively forming a metal film on only the second metal-containing film formed on the etching target film, the metal film having such a property that it is easy to be formed on metal and is hard to be formed on an oxide; and obtaining an inversion pattern composed of the inversion material by etching away the metal pattern and leaving the inversion material and the metal film.
