Abstract

A method for isolating the elements of semiconductor devices, in which bird's beak can be restrained by accumulating nitrogen atoms between a pad oxide film and a silicon substrate and the etch depth of a silicon substrate can be controlled by use of wet etch to remove the oxide which is grown on the silicon substrate at a low temperature after formation of nitride spacer, thereby reproducing good profiles of the field oxide film.
