Abstract
A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device including: forming a mask having a pattern for forming a trench on a semiconductor substrate; forming a film having substantially the same etch rate as the semiconductor substrate on the resulting semiconductor substrate; forming a trench having an inclined sidewall by simultaneously etching the film and a trench formation region on the semiconductor substrate; and embedding an insulating material in the trench thereby to form a device isolation region.
