Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a via hole penetrating a semiconductor substrate and electrically and thermally connecting an electrode of an element disposed on a front surface of the substrate to a metal layer disposed on a back surface of the substrate includes forming on the front surface of the substrate a metal pattern having an opening at a region where the via hole is to be formed and connected to a part of the electrode of the element, forming a hole, and forming a metal film connected to the metal pattern on the inside surface of the hole. The metal pattern can be formed using a positive resist on a flat substrate whereby a highly precise pattern is obtained.

Abstract: A production method for a semiconductor device (e.g. MESFET) includes a metal pattern production process for producing a plurality of metal patterns e.g. gate, source, drain electrodes on a semiconductor substrate having an active layer. The metal pattern production process includes disposing dummy metal patterns (2a/2b) of silicon nitride at a plurality of metal pattern production regions on the semiconductor substrate using a resist mask (3), disposing a resist pattern (4) on the entire surface of the substrate with gaps between the metal pattern production regions, filling the gaps between said dummy metal patterns and the resist pattern with resist by reflowing the resist pattern (4), removing the dummy metal patterns (2a), depositing a metal layer over the entire surface of the partially completed device, and lifting off unwanted metal to produce a desired metal pattern of source/drain electrodes (5).

Abstract: A first metal film is formed on the major surface of a semiconductor substrate and a thin film which is at least equal in thickness to a second metal film is formed on the first metal film. These films are patterned to provide a two-layer film pattern of a prescribed configuration, and a resist film is coated on the major surface of the semiconductor substrate including the two-layer film pattern. The surface of the resist film is partially removed to expose a thin film pattern serving as an upper layer of the two-layer film pattern, and only the thin film pattern is removed. A second metal film is evaporated over the entire surface of the resist film including the first metal film pattern exposed in the preceding step and thereafter the resist film is removed with the second metal film formed on the same, to form the two-layer metal film pattern by the first metal film pattern and the second metal film pattern.
