DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and particularly to a method of forming an element isolation technique with advanced miniaturization.

Recently, lithography technology, etching technology, etc. in semiconductor device manufacturing have progressed, and semiconductor devices are becoming more highly integrated and miniaturized. As semiconductor devices become smaller, element isolation regions also become smaller. Si replaces the traditional selective oxidation method (LOCOS)
A new element isolation method (BOX method) has been proposed in which the element isolation region of the substrate is etched to form a recess and an insulating film is buried in the recess. Figure 1 shows an example of the conventional BOX method.

First, a recess is selectively formed in the Si base 1, an insulating film 2 is formed on the entire surface by CVD, and a resist 3 is used to planarize the upper surface (FIG. 1a). Thereafter, the resist 3 and the insulating film 2 are etched using RIE (reactive ion etching) having an equal etching speed until the surface of the convex portion of the semiconductor substrate is exposed (FIG. 1b).

When this method is used, the insulating film 2 is completely buried and the surface is flattened in places where the intervals between the protrusions are narrow (place A), but in places where the intervals between the protrusions are wide (place B).
In this case, since the resist 3 is formed thin, the remaining insulating film 2 is also thin and cannot be completely flattened. Furthermore, since the insulating film 2 becomes thinner, the capacitance between the wiring and the Si substrate also increases, and the operating speed of the semiconductor device also decreases.

This method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is characterized by comprising a step of leaving a pre-insulating film in the recessed portion of the semiconductor substrate.

According to the present invention, the field region can be flattened, and an etching-resistant mask can be formed on the element isolation region by self-alignment, which reduces the number of steps and eliminates the need for mask alignment. Since no extra area is required for misalignment, miniaturization is possible.

Thereafter, ions of a field inversion layer are implanted into the Si substrate 21 using the mask material, and then the mask material is removed.

Thereafter, a SiN film 23 having a thickness of about 0.1 μm is formed using, for example, a CVD method containing SiH 4 gas (FIG. 2a).

According to the present invention, an etching-resistant mask can be formed on the element isolation region by self-alignment.
The process can be shortened, and at the same time, since there is no need for mask alignment, there is no need for extra areas for misalignment, so miniaturization can be achieved.

Furthermore, since there is only one layer of material to be etched during planarization, there are no restrictions on etching conditions and the tolerance range is widened, so high-speed RIE can be used.

Furthermore, when using RIE, when the Si substrate is etched, a damaged layer may be formed on the surface of the Si substrate, deteriorating the characteristics of the semiconductor device, and the process of removing this damaged layer is increased. , flat etching can be performed without using etching methods such as RIE that form damaged layers. In other words, only wet etching (method using an etching solution) is required, which is simple and prevents the formation of a damaged layer. Therefore, there is no need to use an expensive RIE device.

Furthermore, since RIE of SiO 2 22 in the element isolation region is not performed, it is possible to eliminate increases in variation in SiO 2 film thickness and decreases in film thickness due to overetching, making process control easier and improving the characteristics of semiconductor devices. Uniformity can be measured and yield can be improved.

Figures 3a and 3b show another embodiment of the invention. First, after selectively forming a 0.5 μm recess in the Si substrate 31 and forming, for example, a 1.0 μm SiO 2 film 32, the SiO 2 film 32 is etched with, for example, NH 4 F solution (broken line A). Same dimensions as board 31
After forming the SiO 2 film 32 (FIG. 3a), for example
After forming the SiN film 33 with a thickness of 0.1 μm, remove the Si film 33 on the convex portions by, for example , a blade method .
The film 32 is etched until the Si substrate is exposed (FIG. 3b). Then, using e.g. phosphoric acid,
By removing the SiN film 33, it is possible to form an SiO 2 film 32 in the concave portion of the Si substrate, which is higher in thickness than the Si substrate.

By using this method, the buried insulating film can be
It can be easily formed higher than a Si substrate. By embedding SiO 2 to this high level, it is possible to prevent electric field concentration around the protrusions of the Si substrate. This prevents the formation of parasitic transistors around the convex portions of the Si substrate, thereby preventing deterioration of the characteristics of the semiconductor device.
