Abstract

A partial isolation insulating film provided between MOS transistors in an NMOS region and a PMOS region, respectively, has a structure in which a portion protruding upward from a main surface of an SOI layer is of greater thickness than a trench depth, namely, a portion (isolation portion) extending below the surface of the SOI layer, and the SOI layer under the partial isolation insulating film is of greater thickness than the isolation portion.

Claims (11)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a SOI substrate including a substrate part serving as a base, a buried oxide film provided on said substrate part, and an SOI layer provided on said buried oxide film;

first and second element isolation insulating films provided in first and second regions on said SOI layer, respectively; and

a third element isolation insulating film provided between said first and second regions, wherein

said first and second element isolation insulating films have a partial trench isolation structure having said SOI layer provided thereunder,

said third element isolation insulating film at least partly includes a full trench isolation structure reaching said buried oxide film through said SOI layer, and

said first and second element isolation insulating films have a structure in which a thickness of a protruding portion protruding upward from a main surface of said SOI layer is greater than a thickness of an isolation portion extending below said main surface of said SOI layer

wherein

said first and second element isolation insulating films are formed so that a thickness of an under-isolation SOI layer under said isolation portion is greater than a thickness of said isolation portion.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

said third element isolation insulating film has a hybrid trench isolation structure including said full trench isolation structure and said partial trench isolation structure, said partial trench isolation structure being formed so that a thickness of said protruding portion is greater than a thickness of said isolation portion extending below said main surface of said SOI layer, and a thickness of said under-isolation SOI layer is greater than a thickness of said isolation portion.
