ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor device with a trench-type element isolation structure, alignment can be performed with high accuracy without any deterioration in device performance. The surfaces of silicon oxide films (2B, 2C) embedded in trenches (10B, 10C) of an element forming region including a memory cell region (11B) and a peripheral circuit region (11C) in a semiconductor substrate (1), respectively, are almost level with the surface of the semiconductor substrate (1). On the other hand, the surface of a silicon oxide film (2A) embedded in a trench (10A) is formed lower than the surface of the semiconductor substrate (1).
