Abstract:
A circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a top surface. A dielectric material extends from the top surface into the semiconductor substrate. A high-k dielectric layer is formed of a high-k dielectric material, wherein the high-k dielectric layer comprises a first portion on a sidewall of the dielectric material, and a second portion underlying the dielectric material.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n forming a patterned mask layer over a substrate; using the patterned mask layer to etch the substrate and form an opening; depositing a high-k dielectric layer on sidewalls and a bottom of the opening; filling a dielectric material into the opening and on the high-k dielectric layer; performing a planarization to remove excess portions of the dielectric material over a top surface of the patterned mask layer; and removing the patterned mask layer to expose a sidewall of the high-k dielectric layer.
