ABSTRACT:
In a method manufacturing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor layer having a device forming region is formed on substrate. Next, a region except for the device forming region is changed into an insulator. In this case, a conducting path is left across the semiconductor device to electrically connect the semiconductor device with an adjacent semiconductor device. Subsequently, the device forming region is etched on the condition that the conducting path is left. Finally, the conducting path is disrupted after the etching process. Thus, the semiconductor device and the adjacent semiconductor device are left in an electrical contact via the conducting path during the etching process. Consequently, the uniformity of the etching between the semiconductor devices is largely improved.
