ABSTRACT:
A method of producing an element separation structure includes the steps of: forming a first thermal oxide film on the substrate; forming a silicon nitride film on the first thermal oxide film; removing the first thermal oxide film and the silicon nitride film in an element separation structure forming region; forming a groove portion in the element separation structure forming region; forming a groove portion oxide film in the groove portion; forming a pre-filling oxide film for filling the groove portion; removing the pre-filling oxide film; forming a resist layer on the silicon nitride film and the pre-filling oxide film; forming a resist mask on the element separation structure forming region; removing the silicon nitride film and the first thermal oxide film; forming a second thermal oxide film on the substrate; and removing the second thermal oxide film and leveling the pre-filling oxide film to form a filling portion.
