Abstract

In order to fill in an isolation trench formed on a semiconductor substrate, the isolation trench is filled up to a predetermined middle position with a coating film first, and then an insulating film formed by a CVD method is deposited thereon. Additionally, the insulating film is polished by a CMP method, for example, so as to be ground. Thus, the isolation trench is filled with stacked films of the coating film and the insulating film. Further, an electrode pattern and a dummy pattern are formed on the semiconductor substrate, and the trench formed between these patterns is filled up to a predetermined middle position in its depth direction with the coating film. Then, a remaining depth portion of the trench is filled with the insulating film formed by a CVD method.
