ABSTRACT:
A method for forming shallow trench isolation in a semiconductor device including forming a pad oxide, a pad nitride, and a pore-generating layer on an entire surface of a semiconductor substrate in successive order; etching the pore-generating layer, the pad nitride, the pad oxide and the substrate to form a trench in the substrate; forming a trench oxide over the entire surface of the substrate by a CVD process to fill the trench; and removing the trench oxide in an active device area while retaining the trench oxide in the trench.
