Abstract

The method of the present invention forms a thin oxide layer on the circumferential wall of a recess in a trench and, at the same time, forms a thick oxide layer on the bottom surface of the recess. The thick oxide layer serves as the trench top oxide and the thin oxide layer serves as the gate oxide.
