Abstract

A semiconductor device manufacturing method has forming element isolation trenches in a semiconductor substrate, forming a silicon compound film in insides of the element isolation trenches in order to embed the element isolation trenches, conducting a first oxidation processing at a first temperature to reform a surface of the silicon compound film to a volatile matter emission preventing layer which permits passage of an oxidizing agent and impurities and which does not permit passage of a volatile matter containing silicon atoms, and conducting a second oxidation processing at a second temperature which is higher than the first temperature to form a coated silicon oxide film inside the element isolation trenches.
