A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, in which the lengths of a wiring trench and a via hole in a depth direction are easily controlled. A component having a first insulating film is prepared on a substrate, and a layer is disposed on the above-described first insulating film. A mold having a pattern is imprinted on the above-described layer so as to form a second insulating film having a wiring trench and a first via, the pattern corresponding to the wiring trench and the first via. Thereafter, the above-described first insulating film is etched by using the above-described second insulating film as a mask so as to form a second via, which is connected to the first via, in the first insulating film.

An electrode base material is held by electrostatic attraction when a voltage from a DC power source is applied to electrodes for electrostatic attraction. A paste is applied to the electrode base material, and then the paste is dried to form the water-repellent layer. Subsequently, another paste is applied to the water-repellent layer, and then the paste is dried. Accordingly, the substantially flat electrode catalyst layer including an extremely small number of depressions is formed. The electrode of the fuel cell produced as described above can be used as an anode or a cathode.
