Abstract

This invention relates to the method of forming a semiconductor device having a diaphragm. A highly doped semiconductor region is formed in the peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate around the part in which the diaphragm is to be formed, and then that part is etched. Thereby, the diaphragm of a semiconductor pressure sensor can be formed very accurately to a desired shape.
