Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention has the step of forming an insulation material on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A groove is formed to extend from the surface of the material film to the substrate. The groove is buried with a first insulation film. By use of the first insulation film as an etching mask, the material film is removed, so that a projecting portion projecting to the first insulation film from the main surface can be obtained. A second insulation film is formed on a side surface of the projecting portion in a sloped shape, which is from the top portion of the projecting portion to the main surface.
