ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing device isolation film of semiconductor device is disclosed. The method utilizes a plasma oxidation of a liner nitride film exposed by etching a liner oxide the film in peripheral region prior to the formation of device isolation film to prevent the generation of a electron trap which causes trapping of electrons at the interface of the oxide film and the nitride film resulting in a HEIP phenomenon.
