IMPROVED DEEP ISOLATION TRENCHES

摘要

A method of forming deep isolation trenches in the fabrication of ICs is disclosed. The substrate is prepared with deep isolation trenches. The isolation trenches are partially filled with a first dielectric material. An etch mask layer is deposited on the substrate and used to remove excess first dielectric material on the surface of the substrate. The isolation trenches are then completely filled with a second dielectric material. Excess second dielectric material is then removed from the surface of the substrate.
