Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which provides an isolation region in which a dense silicon oxide film is formed in a trench that requires high aspect ratio. The method includes forming an isolation trench using, as an etching mask, a nitride mask film formed on a substrate, forming a liner nitride film in the isolation trench, depositing a flowable silazane compound by a CVD method such that the height of the flowable silazane compound is higher than the upper surface of the nitride mask film from the upper portion of the trench, performing heat treatment under an oxidizing atmosphere to convert the flowable silazane compound film into a silicon oxide film and simultaneously densifying therefore, and planarizing the silicon oxide film to the height of the upper surface of the nitride mask film.
