Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including the steps of: (a) forming a mask layer of a desired pattern on a silicon substrate surface or on an SiO.sub.2 strain absorbing layer formed on the silicon substrate surface; (b) selectively oxidizing the silicon substrate in a dry oxygen atmosphere by using the mask layer as an oxidation mask; and (c) selectively oxidizing the silicon substrate in an atmosphere of dry oxygen mixed with gas containing halogen element, wherein a field oxide film having a thickness of 100 nm or more is formed. The first and second oxidizing steps (b) and (c) are preferably performed at temperatures between 950.degree. C. and 1200.degree. C. A field oxide film with a short bird's beak can be formed while maintaining a relatively high oxidation speed and preventing generation of a white ribbon.
