Abstract
A semiconductor device manufacturing method is disclosed. The method includes etching a silicon on insulator (SOI) from its surface (i.e., semiconductor substrate layer) to form a first trench and a second trench. The first trench extends through the SOI substrate and reaches an electrode pad. The second trench terminates in the semiconductor substrate layer. The manufacturing method also includes forming an insulation film that covers the surface of the semiconductor substrate layer as well as the side walls and bottoms of the first and second trenches. The manufacturing method also includes removing the insulation film from the bottoms of the first and second trenches to expose the electrode pad from the first trench bottom and to expose the semiconductor substrate layer from the second trench bottom.
