ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method of forming CMOS transistors with planar shallow trench isolations. Before a twin well being formed, a pad oxide film and a nitride film are sequentially deposited on a silicon substrate. When a photoresist film is patterned to define active regions, the silicon substrate is recessed by using the patterned photoresist film as a mask. A liquid-phase-deposition oxide (LPD) film is then grown on the recess structure for shallow trench isolations. Next, a high temperature annealing procedure is performed to densify the LPD oxide film. Finally, when the pad oxide and the nitride films are removed, processes for fabricating CMOS transistors can be continued on the silicon substrate.
