ABSTRACT:
A multiple recess isolation technology avoids stress induced defects while providing a substantially planar surface. A silicon substrate (10) is patterned and etched, creating active moat regions (18) and recesses (20a-b and 21a-b). The recesses are filled with oxide by growing a field oxide (40) in wide recessed regions (21) using a LOCOS process, while depositing a planarization field oxide (44) in narrow recessed regions (20). After etching the structure to obtain a planar surface, standard procedures are used to fabricate the active devices. The process uses a single photolithographic masking step and results in only a very small loss of the width electrically active regions.
