To provide a semiconductor device that can reduce leakage currents resulting from crystal defects, and to provide a method of manufacturing the device.
The semiconductor device has a MISFET provided in the element forming area Re of a semiconductor substrate 11 and a trench isolation 13 surrounding the sides of the area Re. An oxygen passage suppressing film 23 is provided from the surface of the isolation 13 to a portion near the isolation 13 of the element forming area Re. The film 23 is composed of a silicon nitride film etc., which hardly permeates oxygen. Consequently, the cubical expansion of the upper edge section of the element forming area Re is suppressed and stresses can be reduced, because the upper edge section is hardly oxidized.
