Abstract
In the manufacture of a semiconductor device, when an epitaxially-grown layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate partially formed with an oxide, a polycrystalline layer is formed on the oxide; the polycrystalline part is used as an isolation region for elements to be formed in the epitaxially-grown layer. The oxide for growing the polycrystalline layer is buried and formed in the semiconductor substrate at a depth at which a breakdown voltage between the elements is attained, whereby the width of the isolation region can be made small, so as to increase the density of integration of the semiconductor device.
