Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes steps of: forming a trench on a main surface of a silicon substrate; forming a first epitaxial film on the main surface and in the trench; and forming a second epitaxial film on the first epitaxial film. The step of forming the first epitaxial film has a first process condition with a first growth rate of the first epitaxial film. The step of forming the second epitaxial film has a second process condition with a second growth rate of the second epitaxial film. The second growth rate is larger than the first growth rate.
