ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a shallow trench isolation layer that includes: forming a pad oxide on a substrate; forming a hard mask silicon nitride on the pad oxide; forming a moat pattern on the pad oxide and hard mask; etching partially the pad oxide and hard mask with the moat pattern to open the silicon nitride; and ashing process for removing the moat pattern.
