    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a leakage current characteristic that is equal to or less than the threshold of a trench-isolated FET device forming a horizontal ledge on the surface of a substrate adjacent to a trench in a silicon substrate and injecting an impurity vertically into the ledge. SOLUTION: A vertical slot that is terminated on the surface of an oxide 12 is formed in a pile-up structure 14 being provided on a silicon substrate 10 that is covered with the oxide film 12, and spacers 20A and 20B are formed on the sidewall of the slot. Then, a trench 22 with sidewalls 26A and 26B that are essentially self-aligned to the slot and are essentially vertical to a bottom part 24. A width that is nearly equal to an interval between the bottom parts of the spacers 20A and 20B are formed in the substrate 10 by etching. Then, the spacers 20A and 20B are eliminated, horizontal ledges 28A and 28B adjacent to the trench 22 are exposed on the exposed surface of the substrate 10 being covered with the oxide 12, and an impurity is injected vertically into the ledges 28A and 28B. The pile-up structure 14 is set to, for example, a silicon nitride layer.
