ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a trench in a predetermined layer of a semiconductor substrate; heating the substrate having the trench in a non-oxidizing and non-nitridizing atmosphere containing a dopant or a compound that includes the dopant in order to smooth the surfaces defining the trench and to maintain the dopant concentration in the predetermined layer to be a predetermined concentration before the heating is treated; and forming an epitaxially grown film to fill the trench. The conductivity type of the dopant contained in the non-oxidizing and non-nitridizing atmosphere is the same as that of the dopant initially contained in the predetermined layer.
