PURPOSE: To focus a focal point on first and second regions and to reduce a short-circuit between wirings due to out of focus by exposing photoresist films of the regions in separate steps.
CONSTITUTION: An entire main surface of a semiconductor substrate is coated with a photoresist film 9. However, steps corresponding to a base shape are formed on the surface of the film 9. Then, the film 9 is exposed by using a mask formed with a wiring pattern only on a memory cell array, and developed. Thereafter, with the film 9 as an etching mask a conductive film is patterned, and wirings 8 of the array are formed. Then, a photoresist film 10 is formed on the entire main surface of a semiconductor substrate. Thereafter, a focal point is focused on a peripheral circuit by using the mask formed with the wiring pattern of the peripheral circuit, the film 10 is exposed and developed. Thus, its yield can be improved.
