1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
patterning a deposited insulating film on a bottom silicon substrate of a SOI (Silicon On Insulator) semiconductor substrate to form an insulating film pattern;
forming an epitaxial layer on the bottom silicon substrate and the insulating film pattern;
forming a hard mask pattern over the epitaxial layer;
etching the epitaxial layer with the hard mask pattern as an etching mask to form a device isolation trench and a recess;
forming an oxide film layer for the filling the trench and the recess;
removing the hard mask pattern to perform an ion-implanting process on the active region;
removing the oxide film layer filled in the recess; and
forming a gate over the recess.
