PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new deep trench(DT) collar process which reduces disturbance of strap diffusion to an array metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET) of a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: By this method, an oxidation barrier layer is formed on a sidewall of the DT provided in the semiconductor substrate, a photoresist layer of specific depth is provided in the trench to remove the oxidation barrier layer to specific depth and expose the trench sidewall, and the remaining photoresist is removed. A layer of a silicon material is stuck on the exposed trench sidewall, and a dielectric layer is formed on the silicon material layer to form a collar. The remaining oxidation barrier layer is removed from the trench and polysilicon which forms a storage node is charged. Consequently, the distance between a MOSFET gate and a DT storage capacitor is maximized, and the effective edge bias of the DT at its peak is reducible without spoiling the storage capacity.

The second mask can additionally protect the logic circuit part 18 when the injection inside the array part 17 is executed. A DRAM cell is formed on a bulk part of the substrate in a state of including at least one SOI device having the round corners and at least one DRAM cell having a vertical path gate.
