<p>A method for forming an oxide collar in a trench, in accordance with the present invention, includes forming a trench (104) in a silicon substrate (102), and depositing and recessing a nitride liner (112) in the trench to expose a portion of the silicon substrate on sidewalls of the trench. An oxide (116) is deposited selective to the nitride liner on the portion of the silicon substrate. Residue oxide is removed from surfaces of the nitride liner to form a collar (116) in the trench.</p> |
