Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An isolation structure of a semiconductor, a semiconductor device having the same, and a method for fabricating the isolation structure are provided. An isolation structure of a semiconductor device may include a trench formed in a substrate, an oxide layer formed on a bottom surface and an inner sidewall of the trench, a filler formed on the oxide layer to fill a part of inside of the trench, and a fourth oxide layer filling an upper portion of the filler of the trench to a height above an upper surface of the trench, an undercut structure being formed on a boundary area between the inner sidewall and the oxide layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating an isolation structure of a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a deep trench by etching a substrate a plurality of times; forming a first oxide layer along an inner side of the deep trench and then annealing the first oxide layer; forming a second oxide layer on the first oxide layer and then annealing the second oxide layer; filling a portion of an inside of the deep trench on the second oxide layer with a fi…
