<p>A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising semiconductor elements having semiconductor zones (17, 18, 24, 44, 45) formed in a top layer (4) of a silicon wafer (1) situated on a buried insulating layer (2). In this method, a first series of process steps are carried out, commonly referred to as front-end processing, wherein, inter alia, the silicon wafer is heated to temperatures above 700 °C. Subsequently, trenches (25) are formed in the top layer, which extend as far as the buried insulating layer and do not intersect pn-junctions. After said trenches have been filled with insulating material (26, 29), the semiconductor device is completed in a second series of process steps, commonly referred to as back-end processing, wherein the temperature of the wafer does not exceed 400 °C. The trenches are filled in a deposition process wherein the wafer is heated to a temperature which does not exceed 500 °C. In this manner, a semiconductor device can be made comprising semiconductor elements having very small and shallow semiconductor zones.</p> |
