Abstract

A semiconductor device having a SGI structure produced by selecting D, T and R values for satisfying the formula:D<0.4(&#8722;100R+7)&#8722;1(&#8722;230 T+14.5),wherein D is a width of an element formation region, T is a thermal oxidation amount of a groove in terms of microns, and R is a curvature radius at an end bottom portion of the groove, has excellent properties such as reduced in stress generated at bottom portions of grooves in a silicon substrate and not generating abnormal junction leakage current.
