A semiconductor device is disclosed that includes a semiconductor substrate, a device region disposed at a predetermined location of the semiconductor substrate, and a shallow trench isolation region that isolates the device region. The shallow trench isolation region includes a trench, a nitride film liner disposed at an upper portion of a side wall of the trench, and a thermal oxide film disposed at a lower portion of the side wall of the trench. The shallow trench isolation is arranged such that the width of a second portion of the shallow trench isolation region at which the thermal oxide film is disposed may be wider than the width of a first portion of the shallow trench isolation region at which the lower end of the nitride film liner is disposed.
