US5004701A — Method of forming isolation region in integrated …

Claim 1

Independent Claim 237 words

A method of manufacturing an isolation region in an integrated circuit semiconductor device comprising the steps of forming a first mask pattern made of anti-oxidant material on a surface of a semiconductor substrate of one conductivity type, forming selectively a field oxide layer by a heat treatment under an oxidizing atmosphere on a field region of said substrate between first and second circuit element forming regions of said substrate by using said first mask pattern as a mask, forming a second mask pattern on said substrate including said field oxide layer, thereafter, introducing ions of impurity of said one conductivity type by ion-implantation into a portion of said substrate under a part of said field oxide layer through said field oxide layer by using said second mask pattern as a mask, carrying out a first lamp annealing during a first time period for an activation of said implanted impurities of said one conductivity type to form a channel stopper region of said one conductivity type having a higher impurity concentration than said substrate in said portion of said substrate abutted against the bottom of said part of said field oxide layer wherein said portion of said substrate forming said channel stopper region is separated from said first circuit element forming region by a first distance and from said second circuit element forming region by a second distance which is substantially the same value as said first distance.
