More Information
Summary:A process of producing a semiconductor device having a highly reliable groove isolation structure with a desired radius of curvature formed at the groove upper edge and without formation of any step. The device is produced by reducing the stress generation around the groove upper edge of an element isolation groove on a semiconductor substrate, thereby optimizing the shape of an element isolation groove and making the device finer and improving the device electric characteristics.
