Patent ID: 7214559

Claim:
A method for fabricating a vertical offset structure, comprising: a first trench forming step of forming first trenches on a wafer by etching the wafer and then injecting a specified material into the first trenches; a first etching step of performing a first patterning for determining etching positions of second and third trenches by depositing a first thin film on the wafer, performing a second patterning for temporarily protecting the etching position of the third trench by depositing a second thin film on the first thin film and the wafer, and then forming the second trenches by etching the wafer; a second etching step of forming a protection layer on side surfaces of the second trenches and then vertically extending the second trenches by etching the wafer; a third etching step of removing the second thin film and then forming the third trench by etching a position from which the second thin film is removed; and a fourth etching step of horizontally extending the second trenches vertically extended at the second etching step and the third trench by etching the wafer.
