ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device is manufactured by forming a mask having a first opening and a second opening wider than the first opening on a principal surface of a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate, etching semiconductor portions of the first conductivity type semiconductor substrate exposed in the first and second openings to thereby form a first trench in the first opening and form a second trench deeper than the first trench in the second opening, and filling the first and second trenches with a second conductivity type semiconductor to concurrently form an alignment marker for device production and a junction structure of alternate arrangement of the first conductivity type semiconductor and the second conductivity type semiconductor. In this manner, it is possible to provide a semiconductor device in which a parallel pn structure and an alignment marker can be formed concurrently to improve the efficiency of a manufacturing process.
