Abstract:
1. A method for forming an isolation layer of a semiconductor device, the method comprising the steps of: a) sequentially laminating a pad oxide layer and a pad nitride layer on a semiconductor substrate; b) selectively removing the pad nitride layer, selectively removing the pad oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a trench in the semiconductor substrate; c) implanting ions in a direction with a tilted angle into a side wall of the pad nitride layer located in an upper side of the trench; d) removing the side wall portion of the pad nitride layer in the trench, in which the ions are implanted, to form a sloped side wall of the pad nitride layer, wherein the sloped side wall is inclined in an inverse direction; e) filling a HDP oxide layer in an upper surface of an entire structure including the trench; f) planarizing the HDP oxide layer and the pad nitride layer; and g) removing a remaining pad nitride layer, thereby forming an isolation layer.
