An aluminum-copper alloy layer is patterned through a photo-lithography followed by a dry etching, and side walls of etching residue containing aluminum chloride, which is causative of after-corrosion in the aluminum-copper alloy line, is grown during the dry etching, wherein the side walls are exposed to gaseous mixture containing ionic water vapor so that hydrogen ion and/or the hydroxyl group reacts with the aluminum chloride, thereby converting the aluminum chloride to aluminum and/or aluminum hydroxide and hydrochloric acid vaporized into vacuum.
