Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same and method for deleting information in use of the semiconductor device, in which field shield isolation or a trench type isolation between elements is used with suppression of penetration of field oxide into element active region of the device, that is, a defect involved in conventional LOGOS type process, are disclosed. A non-LOCOS insulating device isolation block is formed in a semiconductor substrate. The non-LOCOS insulating device isolation block uses a field shield element isolation structure or trench type element isolation structure.

Abstract: A semiconductor device has field shield isolation or trench type isolation between elements which suppresses penetration of field oxide into an element active region of the device. A common gate is located between two MOS transistors, which may be of opposite conductivity type. After gate electrode wiring layers are formed in a field region and an active region to the same level, a pad polysilicon film formed on the entire surface to cover the patterns of these gate electrode wiring layers, which are in separated patterns.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate in which a trench for element isolation is formed, and an element isolation oxide film buried into the trench in such a manner that the element isolation oxide film is projected from the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The element isolation oxide film which is an element isolation insulating film for defining an element forming region on the semiconductor substrate has a projection portion above the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The projection portion has the width wider than that of the trench. The projection portion and a contact portion made in contact with the semiconductor substrate within the trench are made of thermal oxide films, and a portion other than the projection portion and the contact portion is made of a CVD dioxide film.

Abstract: By using first mixed gas containing carbon atoms and fluorine atoms, a semiconductor substrate is etched. In order to remove a damage layer formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate by this etching processing, the semiconductor substrate is etched by second mixed gas including gas containing fluorine atoms and oxygen gas having a partial pressure ratio of at least 70%. Thereafter, a semiconductor oxide film is formed on the semiconductor substrate to fabricate a semiconductor device.
