A vanadium oxide film is formed on an interlayer insulating layer, and a
silicon oxide film and a silicon nitride film are formed on the vanadium
oxide film in this order. With a resist pattern used as a mask, the
silicon nitride film is patterned. Then, the resist pattern is removed
using a stripping solution or oxygen plasma ashing. Next, with the
patterned silicon nitride film used as a mask, the silicon oxide film and
the vanadium oxide film are etched to form a resistor film of vanadium
oxide.
