Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises etching a semiconductor substrate having an insulation film as mask using a mixed gas composed of HBr and CHF3, thereby having a reaction product composed of the semiconductor substrate and reaction gas to be adhered gradually on the side walls of the mask, and as a result creating a trench having a sufficient roundness formed to the upper end portion thereof.
