Abstract

A polysilicon film is deposited in a trench formed in a silicon element substrate. The polysilicon film in the trench and on the silicon element substrate is anisotropically etched, so that the film remains on the side wall of the trench. The polysilicon film on the side wall is oxidized to obtain an insulating film, which buries the trench. At the same time, an oxidized film is formed on the surface of the silicon element substrate to complete a trench-mold separation area.
