Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate in which a multi-depth trench is formed, the multi-depth trench including a shallow trench and a deep trench arranged below the shallow trench, a first dielectric material formed in partial area of the multi-depth trench, the first dielectric material including a slope in the shallow trench that extends upward from a corner where a bottom plane of the shallow trench and a sidewall of the deep trench meets, the slope being inclined with respect to the bottom plane of the shallow trench, and a second dielectric material formed in areas of the multi-depth trench in which the first dielectric material is absent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a multi-depth trench in a semiconductor substrate, the forming of the multi-depth trench comprising: forming a shallow trench; and forming a deep trench arranged below the shallow trench; depositing a first dielectric material into a partial area of the multi-depth trench comprising the shallow trench and the deep trench, the deposited first dielectric material forming a sl…
