Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a trench for isolating an element region on a semiconductor substrate, burying a first oxide film in the trench so as to contact a surface of the trench, flattening a surface of the first oxide film, heating the semiconductor substrate to form a second oxide film at an interface between the surface of the trench and the first oxide film, and annealing the semiconductor substrate.
