行われている。Conventionally, this type of semiconductor device has been mainly used as a capacitor of a memory cell portion of an MO5 type dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The gate film is an important insulating film, but it can be damaged by reactive ion etching (RIE) during trench formation, electric field concentration at edges 8 in the upper corner and edges 9 in the lower corner, and damage to the silicon oxide film 3. As the film becomes thinner, the withstand voltage leakage current deteriorates. In order to prevent this, the edges of some corners of each corner are rounded (rounding oxidation) by oxidation and removal of the oxide film at high temperatures (1100°C or higher), and the insulation film is made into a multilayer film as described above to reduce the breakdown voltage and leakage current. Improvements have been made to initial characteristics such as:
