Patent ID: 7332776

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a SOI substrate including a substrate part serving as a base, a buried oxide film provided on said substrate part, and an SOI layer provided on said buried oxide film; first and second element isolation insulating films provided in first and second regions on said SOI layer, respectively; and a third element isolation insulating film provided between said first and second regions, wherein said first and second element isolation insulating films have a partial trench isolation structure having said SOI layer provided thereunder, said third element isolation insulating film at least partly includes a full trench isolation structure reaching said buried oxide film through said SOI layer, and said first and second element isolation insulating films have a structure in which a thickness of a protruding portion protruding upward from a main surface of said SOI layer is greater than a thickness of an isolation portion extending below said main surface of said SOI layer wherein said first and second element isolation insulating films are formed so that a thickness of an under-isolation SOI layer under said isolation portion is greater than a thickness of said isolation portion.
