A method for forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) of a semiconductor device comprises forming a nitride film pattern over a semiconductor substrate having a defined lower structure, etching a predetermined thickness of the semiconductor substrate using the nitride film pattern as a mask to form a trench having a vertical sidewall in a portion of the substrate predetermined to be a device isolation region, performing a plasma treatment process on the sidewall of the trench to form a plasma oxide film, forming an oxide film over the resulting structure to fill the trench, and performing a planarization process over the resulting structure.
