Abstract

A trench is formed in a silicon substrate, and an epitaxial film is formed on the substrate and in the trench. After a part of the epitaxial film formed around an opening portion of the trench is etched, another epitaxial film is formed on the substrate and in the trench. Accordingly, the trench can be filled with the epitaxial films completely. Then, the surface of the substrate is flattened.
