Abstract
A trench having a side wall and a bottom portion is formed in a silicon carbide substrate. A trench insulating film is formed to cover the bottom portion and the side wall. A silicon film is formed to fill the trench with the trench insulating film being interposed therebetween. The silicon film is etched so as to leave a portion of the silicon film that is disposed on the bottom portion with the trench insulating film being interposed therebetween. The trench insulating film is removed from the side wall. By oxidizing the silicon film, a bottom insulating film is formed. A side wall insulating film is formed on the side wall.
