In using an epitaxial growth method to selectively grow on a silicon substrate an epitaxial layer on which an element is to be formed, the epitaxial layer is formed so as to extend upward above a thermal oxide film that is an element isolating insulating film, in order to prevent formation of facets. Subsequently, unwanted portions of the epitaxial layer are removed by means of CMP to complete an STI element isolating structure.

According to the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, where a soluble thin film which is soluble in a dissolving liquid is used. According to the method of the present invention, when a soluble thin film is formed between a film to be processed which should be patterned and a mask pattern, it becomes possible to remove the mask pattern by lifting-off. On the other hand, when the thin film is used for a dummy layer for forming an air wiring structure, the dummy layer can be removed without performing ashing using oxygen plasma.
