Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for forming an isolated film on a semiconductor device in the shape of a cylinder to shorten the heat treatment process and to prevent a micro-loading effect of filling of a field-isolated oxide film. The method comprises the step of forming a deep, narrow groove, then filling up the groove with an oxide film, and then oxidizing a polysilicon layer encircled by the groove to form an isolated film in the shape of a cylinder.
