Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes steps of: forming a trench on a semiconductor substrate, which is made of silicon; and filling the trench with an epitaxial layer. The epitaxial layer is made of silicon, and the step of filling the trench includes a step of performing a plasma CVD method with using a silicon source gas. By using anisotropic character of a plasma, the epitaxial layer is selectively deposited on a bottom of the trench. Thus, the trench is filled with the epitaxial layer having no void.
