Abstract
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a lateral semiconductor device having an SOI (Silicon on Insulator) substrate, the lateral semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor layer that includes a buried oxide layer and a drift region, the manufacturing method comprising an etching process of etching, by a predetermined depth, a LOCOS oxide that projects from a surface of the semiconductor layer by a predetermined thickness and is embedded in the semiconductor layer by a predetermined thickness, and a trench forming process of simultaneously forming a first trench extending from the drift region toward the buried oxide layer, and a second trench extending from a portion obtained by the etching in the etching process toward the buried oxide layer, at a same etching rate, and stopping forming the first trench and the second trench at a time when the second trench reaches the buried oxide layer.
