Abstract

A reduction of the junction electric field intensity is accomplished in the semiconductor regions for the sources and drains of field effects transistors. For this purpose, a structure is provided where the gate electrodes 9 of the MIS.FETQs for memory cell selection of a DRAM are buried within the trenches 7a and 7b created in the semiconductor substrate 1. The bottom corners within the trench 7b are rounded so as to have a radius of curvature in accordance with the sub-threshold coefficient of the MIS.FETQs for memory cell selection. In addition, the gate insulating film 8 within the trench 7b is made to have a laminated structure of a thermal oxide film and a CVD film.
