Threshold voltage fluctuation in upper corner portions of a trench isolation is inhibited by rounding upper corner portions of the trench by thermal oxidation, introducing a first impurity into both upper corner portions of the trench and heat-treating the semiconductor substrate. Embodiments include increasing the threshold voltage in the upper corner portion of the trench in an n-channel transistor, previously increased by rounding oxidation, and introducing a p-type impurity, thereby canceling the threshold voltage reduction resulting from diffusion of the impurity during heat-treating the semiconductor substrate. In a p-channel transistor, the threshold voltage in the upper corner portion of the trench is increased by rounding oxidation thereby canceling the threshold voltage reduction resulting from introduction of the p-type first impurity into both upper corner portions of the trench.
