摘要:
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device having a trench is provided to form, at a corner portion of the trench, an oxide film which is greater in thickness and smaller in stress than at other portions. When the trench formed in the semiconductor substrate is oxidized, it is oxidized in an oxygen environment containing dichloroethylene at a predetermined weight percent to allow the formation of an oxide film having a greater thickness at the corner portion of the trench than thickness at other portions, whereby the semiconductor device improving dielectric breakdown characteristics can be obtained.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided which includes an active region, a shallow groove isolation adjacent to the active region, and a semiconductor element formed in the active region and having a gate. The sum of a width of the active region and a width of the shallow groove isolation constitutes a minimum pitch in the direction of a gate width of the gate, and the width of the active region is set larger than one-half of the minimum pitch.

Grooves are defined in a substrate having device isolation regions by dry etching using silicon nitride films and side wall spacers as masks. Thereafter, the side wall spacers lying on side walls of the silicon nitride films are removed and the substrate is subjected to thermal oxidation, whereby the surface of the substrate at a peripheral portion of each active region is subjected to so-called round processing so as to have a sectional shape having a convex rounded shape.

A semiconductor device having a highly reliable groove isolation structure with a desired radius of curvature formed at the groove upper edge and without formation of any step, there is produced by reducing the stress generation around the groove upper edge of an element isolation groove on a semiconductor substrate, thereby optimizing the shape of an element isolation groove and making the device finer and improving the device electric characteristics.

A protection film is formed on a silicon oxide film 6 formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, a silicon oxide film is removed from a region where a thin gate-insulating film is to be formed by using, as a mask, a photoresist pattern that covers a region where a thick gate-insulating film is to be formed, and, then, the photoresist pattern is removed followed by washing. Then, the semiconductor substrate is heat-oxidized or a film is deposited thereon to form gate-insulating films having different thicknesses.
