Method for manufacturing differential isolation structures in a semiconductor electronic device and corresponding structure

摘要

This invention relates to a method for manufacturing isolation structures with different depths in a monolithically integrated semiconductor electronic device. The inventive method comprises a first step of defining active areas on a semiconductor material substrate, a second step of forming isolation structures by realising trenches in said substrate and then filling them with field oxide, a third step of defining lithographically at least a first device area, and a fourth step of reducing the vertical height of the substrate and of the field oxide of said first device area. <IMAGE>
