Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. According to the method, a first buried oxide layer is formed in the semiconductor substrate in a first region, such that a first semiconductor layer is defined on the first buried oxide layer. An active portion is defined by forming a trench in the semiconductor substrate in a second region. A capping semiconductor pattern is formed on a top surface and an upper portion of a sidewall of the active portion. An oxide layer is formed by oxidizing the capping semiconductor pattern and an exposed lower portion of the sidewall of the active portion, such that the oxide layer surrounds a non-oxidized portion of the active portion. The non-oxidized portion of the active portion is a core and one end of the core is connected to a first optical device formed at the first semiconductor.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device having optical devices

Provided are a semiconductor device and a method of forming the same. According to the method, a first buried oxide layer is locally formed in a semiconductor substrate and a core semiconductor pattern of a line form, a pair of anchor-semiconductor patterns and a support-semiconductor pattern are formed by patterning a semiconductor layer on the first buried oxide layer to expose the first buried oxide layer. The pair of anchor-semiconductor patterns contact both ends of the core semiconductor pattern, respectively, and the support-semiconductor pattern contacts one sidewall of the core semiconductor pattern, the first buried oxide layer below the core semiconductor pattern is removed. At this time, a portion of the first buried oxide layer below each of the anchor-semiconductor patterns and a portion of the first buried oxide layer below the support-semiconductor pattern remain. A second buried oxide layer is formed to fill a region where the first buried oxide layer below the core semiconductor pattern.
