摘要:
This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having elements isolated by a trench. A trench is formed to surround an element region of a silicon substrate by anisotropic etching. A nonoxide film such as a silicon nitride film is selectively formed on the upper surface of the element region. Thermal oxidation is performed using the nonoxide film as a mask to form an oxide film on the inner face of the trench and the upper surface of a field region. Thereafter, a polysilicon layer is buried in the trench, and after the surface of the polysilicon layer is flattened, a capping oxide film is formed on the upper surface of the trench. In addition, a non-oxide film is formed to have an interval between the end of the nonoxide film and the trench of 2 .mu.m or more.

A semiconductor device of this invention is characterized in that one element region is electrically isolated from another element region adjacent thereto by forming a groove surrounding the one element region and a distance between the groove surrounding one element region and a groove surrounding the another element region is set to be equal to or larger than 3 .mu.m.

A heat-treatment apparatus includes a quartz heat-treatment tube having a vertically set axis in which a heat-treatment gas is supplied from its lower portion, and a quartz cap to be mounted on an upper opening portion of the heat-treatment tube. An opening is formed in a central portion of the cap, a quartz rod is inserted through the opening along the axis of the heat-treatment tube, and semiconductor parts to be heat-treated are held by the rod. A first exhaust duct is formed in a side surface of the heat-treatment tube at a position higher than at least the semiconductor parts held by the rod and exhausts the heat-treatment gas in the heat-treatment tube. A ring-like chamber open toward the inner surface of the cap is formed in the outer circumferential surface of the heat-treatment tube in a position close to the upper opening surface, and a second exhaust duct communicates with this chamber. The chamber communicates with the opening portion formed in the cap in the outer circumferential portion of the rod and communicates with the interior of the heat-treatment tube, thereby exhausting an external air drawn from the opening together with the heat-treatment gas in the heat-treatment tube.

A device-isolating trench having a taper at its upper portion is formed in a silicon semiconductor substrate. Then, a silicon oxide film is formed on the inner wall of the trench and the surface of the semiconductor substrate near the trench by an oxidizing method, and polycrystalline silicon is buried in the trench.

To heat treat a semiconductor substrate without forming an oxide film on the surface thereof, the method of heat treating a semiconductor substrate, comprises: a step 1 of carrying a semiconductor substrate into a heat treating chamber heated at a temperature 150.degree. C. or lower; a step 2 of heating the heat treating chamber up to about 200.degree. C. to emit moisture adhering to the semiconductor substrate; a step 3 of introducing an etching gas into the heat treating chamber to etch an oxide film formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a step 4 of raising the temperature within the heat treating chamber up to a heat treating temperature to heat treat the semiconductor substrate.

A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a furnace having a tubular body with inner and outer tubular members. A boat having wafers mounted thereon is positioned inside the inner tubular member. Temperature control inside the tubular body is provided by a thermocouple device located between the inner and outer tubular members. A mixture of dichlorosilane gas and ammonium gas formed by a mixing nozzle at a temperature which is lower than the temperature in the tubular body is supplied to the wafers from positions juxtaposed with the wafers mounted on the boat.

A device for a thermal treatment process and a film forming process includes a chamber for forming a thin-film on a semiconductor substrate under high temperatures, a heater positioned to enclose the outer periphery of the chamber, for heating the inside of the chamber to a high temperature; and insulator positioned to enclose the outer periphery of the heater. The device further has a first space formed between the chamber and the heater, a second space formed between the heater and the insulator, first and second exhaust sections provided for exhausting air from the first and second spaces. In the device, prior to inserting the semiconductor substrate into and removing the semiconductor substrate from the chamber, high temperature air is exhausted from the first and second spaces by the first and second exhaust sections, respectively, to cool inside of the chamber.
