Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a narrow isolation region and a wide isolation region on a semiconductor substrate, comprising the steps of:forming a trench mask pattern on said semiconductor substrate using anti-oxidation material;forming a first trench and a second trench in said narrow isolation region and said wide isolation region respectively, wherein the first trench and the second trench are formed using said trench mask pattern and forming a nitride film on the whole structure formed on said semiconductor substrate;executing a blanket etching of said nitride film, thereby said nitride film is left in the first trench and side wall portion of the second trench;forming a first oxide film in the second trench by thermal oxidation of said semiconductor substrate;removing said trench mask pattern and said nitride film and forming a second oxide film on the whole structure formed on said semiconductor substrate; andetching back the second oxide film, thereby the first trench is buried with the second oxide film and side wall portion of the second trench is covered with the second oxide film.
