Abstract
For making an isolation region on a semiconductor substrate without forming an unwanted bird beak, after forming an insulating film on the semiconductor substrate, the substate surface is covered with a resist mask. An LPD SiO.sub.2 film is deposited on the unmasked portion of the substrate surface, using a hydrofluoric acid solution containing silicon dioxide so as to be supersaturated. Thereafter, the mask is removed from the substrate surface. Further, after a groove is formed in the semiconductor substrate, it may be filled with the LPD SiO.sub.2 film to provide the isolation region in the substrate.
