    摘要: A shallow groove isolation structure (SGI) electrically insulates adjoining transistors on a semiconductor substrate. A pad oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate and an oxidation inhibition film is formed on the pad oxide film. Parts of the oxide inhibition film and pad oxide film are removed to form the groove. In particular, the pad oxide film is removed from an upper edge of the groove within a range of 5 to 40 nm. A region of the groove is oxidized in an oxidation environment with a cast ratio of hydrogen (H.sub.2) to oxygen (O.sub.2) being less than or equal to 0.5. At this ratio, the oxidizing progresses under low stress at the upper groove edges of the substrate thereby enabling rounding of the upper groove edges without creating a level difference at or near the upper groove edge on the substrate surface.

    摘要: Manufacturing a semiconductor device avoiding an increase of transistor leak current or reduction of the withstanding voltage characteristics is by at least one of: The pad oxide film is removed along the substrate surface from the upper edge of the groove over a distance ranging from 5 to 40 nm: The exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate undergoes removal by isotropic etching within 20 nm; and oxidizing a groove portion formed in a semiconductor substrate in an oxidation environment with a gas ratio of hydrogen (H2) to oxygen (O2) being less than or equal to 0.5, an increase of the curvature radius beyond 3nm is achieved without associating the risk of creation of any level difference on the substrate surface at or near the upper groove edge portions in a groove separation structure. This eliminates either an increase of transistor leak current or reduction of the withstanding voltage characteristics thereof otherwise occurring due to local electric field concentration near or around the terminate ends of a gate electrode film which in turn leads to an ability to improve electrical reliability of transistors used.

    摘要: A semiconductor device free from electric failure in transistors at upper trench edges can be produced by a simplified process comprising basic steps of forming a pad oxide film on the circuit-forming side of a semiconductor substrate; forming an oxidation prevention film on the pad oxide film; removing the oxidation presention film and the pad oxide film at a desired position, thereby exposing the surface of the semiconductor substrate; horizontally recessing the pad oxide film, etching the exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate by isotropic etching; forming a trench to a desired depth, using the oxidation prevention film as a mask; horizontally recessing the pad oxide film; oxidizing the trench formed in the semiconductor substrate; embedding an embedding isolation film in the oxidized trench; removing the embedding isolation film formed on the oxidation prevention film; removing the oxidation prevention film formed on the circuit-forming side of the semiconductor substrate; and removing the pad oxide film formed on the circuit-forming side of the semiconductor substrate, where round upper trench edges with a curvature can be obtained, if necessary, by conducting isotropic etching of exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate and horizontally recessing of the pad oxide film before the oxidation of the trench, whereby only one oxidation step is required.
