A hard mask material 2 such as a silicon oxide film is formed on an aluminum alloy film 3. The hard mask material 2 is patterned in the form of a thick film wiring 6, followed by etching the aluminum alloy film 3 to a given depth through the mask. A resist 5 applied to the thin film portion of the aluminum alloy film 3 is patterned in the form of a thin film wiring 7. Etching through the resist 5 and the hard mask material 2 as a mask is effected to form the thick film wiring 6 and the thin film wiring 7 in the same layer.

Provided are a method for manufacturing contact structure to prevent, in the wire of a borderless structure, erosion in the contact area between the wire and a conductor. An interlayer insulating film (300) having a wire burying hole is formed and a conductor (400) is buried in the hole. Then, a wire layer (500) covering the hole is formed on the interlayer insulating film (300). The wire layer (500) is made so as to have a borderless structure by using a resist (540) as a mask. A barrier metal layer (510) suppresses erosion in the contact area between the conductor (400) and the wire layer (500).

A wafer treating device utilizing a plasma generated by a gas discharge caused by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) includes a wafer treating chamber and a plasma generating chamber, a microwave supply for supplying microwave energy to the plasma generating chamber, and an electromagnetic coil which surrounds the plasma generating chamber to produce a minimum B-field therein. A plasma generated in the plasma generating chamber by electron cyclotron resonance is confined stably therein by the minimum B-field produced by the coil. Thus, the density and stability of the plasma in the plasma generating chamber are enhanced. The plasma in the plasma generating chamber is conveyed to a wafer in the wafer treating chamber along the diverging lines of a magnetic force. Examples of the minimum B-field producing coil include Ioffe bars, a baseball coil and an Yin-yang coil.

A variable gain equalizer comprises an equalizing network having an impedance element coupled between an input terminal to which an input voltage is applied and an output terminal. A potentiometer is provided having first and second mutually complementarily variable resistance portions divided by a slidable tap having an inherent contact resistance connected to ground. The first and second portions of the potentiometer are coupled in the equalizing network in series with the impedance element. An inversion type current mirror curcuit causes an input alternating current to flow as a function of the input voltage in the contact resistance of the potentiometer through the first resistance portion and causes an output alternating current of equal amplitude to, but opposite phase to, the input alternating current to flow in the contact resistance through the second resistance portion and impedance element to the output terminal.
