Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a semiconductor device having improved performance. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a trench and then forming a first insulating film made of a silicon oxide film through CVD using a gas containing an O3 gas and a TEOS gas to cover the side surface of the trench with the insulating film; forming a second insulating film made of a silicon oxide film through PECVD to cover the side surface of the trench with the second insulating film via the first insulating film; and forming a third insulating film made of a silicon oxide film through CVD using a gas containing an O3 gas and a TEOS gas to close the trench with the third insulating film while leaving a space in the trench.

Abstract:
An n-channel MISFETQn is formed in an nMIS first formation region of a semiconductor substrate and a p-channel MISFETQp is formed in an adjacent pMIS second formation region of the semiconductor substrate. A silicon nitride film having a tensile stress is formed to cover the n-channel MISFETQn and the p-channel MISFETQp. In one embodiment, the silicon nitride film in the nMIS formation region and the pMIS formation region is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Thereafter, a mask layer is formed to cover the silicon nitride film in the nMIS formation region and to expose the silicon nitride film in the pMIS formation region. The silicon nitride film in the pMIS formation region is then subjected to plasma processing, which relieves the tensile stress of the silicon nitride film in the pMIS formation region.
