PURPOSE: To prevent residues of a thin film circuit pattern from remaining at the area near the stepped portion by forming a carbon film, then flattening the stepped portion and thereafter coating the surface with the resist including silicon.
CONSTITUTION: A narrowed portion is generated at the area lower than the stepped portion when a conductive film 2 and a carbon film 3 are given to a substrate 1 having the projected and recessed area or stepped portion due to the other thin film pattern, etc. The surface of carbon film 3 is spin-coated with a liquidified organic film 4, the stepped portion of substrate 1 is smoothed and the such smoothed area is spin-coated with the photoresist 5 including silicon. Difference between film thickness of photoresist 5 at the upper and lower portions of the stepped portion is set to a comparatively small value and existence of residues of pattern at the lower part of stepped portion can be prevented after exposure and development of the photoresist 5.
