ABSTRACT:
An underlaid silicon oxide film (2) and a polycrystalline silicon film (5) are formed in this order on a surface (1S) of a silicon substrate (1). The polycrystalline silicon film (5) and the underlaid silicon oxide (2) are opened by anisotropic etching, to form a trench (21) extending to the inside of the semiconductor substrate (1). A silicon oxide film (11) formed by HDP-CVD is buried in the trench (21). A resist (41) is formed only on a surface of the silicon oxide film (11) in a device isolation region (20). The silicon oxide film (11) in an active region (30) is removed by dry etching with the resist (41) as a mask. After removing the resist (41), only the polycrystalline silicon film (5) is removed by dry etching. The underlaid oxide film (2) is removed by wet etching with hydrofluoric acid. By this method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the surface of the semiconductor substrate and a trench-type device isolation are flattened effectively at low cost.
